deserialization-testing

deserialization-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xAmirHamza77/PenKit51. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,619 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A testing guide for insecure deserialization, a problem where an application turns untrusted saved or transmitted data back into objects unsafely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test Java, Python, PHP, .NET, Ruby, and Node.js applications and check whether incoming object data is validated safely.
Why use it?
It helps find object-processing flaws such as gadget chains, type confusion, and validation failures that may affect application security.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deserialization-testing scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deserialization-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository xAmirHamza77/PenKit51 (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 3,619 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
