HackSkills is an organized knowledge base of installable skills that gives AI agents practical security knowledge across areas such as web security, privilege escalation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. It is intended for bug bounty work, penetration testing, CTF competitions, and authorized security research. The catalogue entries are the project's own master, category, and topic skills.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.04192 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.02096 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00838 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00419 |
Grade D, and why
csrf-cross-site-request-forgery scanned grade D with 2 findings 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 10d 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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.
<!-- If server accepts GET for state-changing endpoint: --> Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

SKILL: CSRF — Cross-Site Request Forgery — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert CSRF techniques. Covers modern bypass vectors (SameSite gaps, custom header flaws, tokenless bypass patterns), JSON CSRF, multipart CSRF, chaining with XSS. Base models often present only basic CSRF without covering SameSite edge cases and common broken token implementations.
0. RELATED ROUTING
Also load:
- cors cross origin misconfiguration when JSON endpoints become readable cross-origin
- oauth oidc misconfiguration when login, account linking, or callback binding relies on OAuth state
1. CORE CONCEPT
CSRF exploits a victim's active session to perform state-changing requests from the attacker's origin.
Required conditions:
- Victim is authenticated (active session cookie)
- Server identifies session via cookie only (no secondary check)
- Attacker can predict/construct the valid request
- Cookie is sent cross-origin (SameSite=None or legacy behavior)
2. FINDING CSRF TARGETS
High-value state-changing endpoints:
- Password change ← account takeover
- Email change ← account takeover
- Add admin / change role ← privilege escalation
- Bank/payment transfer ← financial impact
- OAuth app authorization ← hijack oauth flow
- Account deletion
- Two-factor auth disable
- SSH key / API key addition
- Webhook configuration
- Profile/contact info update
3. TOKEN BYPASS TECHNIQUES
No Token Present
Simplest case — form simply lacks CSRF token. Check if POST /change-email has any token. If not → trivially exploitable.
Token Not Validated (most common finding!)
Token exists in request but is never verified server-side:
Remove the _csrf_token parameter entirely → does request still succeed?
→ YES → trivial bypass
Token Tied to Session but Not to User
Step 1: Log in as UserA → obtain valid CSRF token
Step 2: Log in as UserB in other browser → obtain UserB CSRF token
Step 3: Use UserB's CSRF token in UserA's session (attacker controls UserB)
→ If server validates token exists but doesn't check if it belongs to the session → bypass
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.

csrf-cross-site-request-forgery is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,143 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 4,192 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (hidden instructions, sends data to an external url). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
