CyberSecurityUPandClaude Opus 4.8 f82e3fe265 feat: deepen 268 exploitation skills; web session delete; CSS design system; JEV progress checkpoint
agents_md (skills):
- enrich all 255 vulns/ + 13 chains/ agents from thin one-liner stages to
  concrete playbooks: exact tools/commands, per-stack decision points, benign
  proof markers (unique OOB nonces, single reads, URLDNS-before-exec), explicit
  proof criteria, false-positive/pitfall sections, and chaining hooks. Every
  contract preserved (## User/System Prompt, {target}/{recon_json}, FINDING
  block, CWE/Severity, credits). avg 37->53 lines; loader parses all 449.

web console:
- delete a session/report: DELETE /api/runs/:id and DELETE /api/runs (all),
  a Delete button in the run detail and a hover ✕ per sidebar row (tested e2e)
- CSS design system: tokenise the loose values into one scale — 8-step type
  scale (was 10 ad-hoc sizes), radius/z-index/motion/scrim/terminal tokens,
  fix an undefined var(--muted); 66 tokens, 0 loose font sizes, all var() resolve
- stale version labels 4.0.0/4.2.0 -> 4.2.1

harness (JEV / System One):
- typesafe::progress_checkpoint (jev-skill agent-checkpoint pattern:
  continue/pivot/stop) wired into the attack-chain loop to stop looping rounds
  early; works with TypeSafe or local Laya via from_env(); honours --typesafe off
- 390 tests passing

# Password Reset Poisoning Specialist Agent
## User Prompt
You are testing **{target}** for Host-header password reset poisoning.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
**METHODOLOGY:**
### 1. Trigger the reset with a poisoned host
- Submit a reset for an account you control (or a test victim) while injecting host-family headers, one variant per attempt (unique OOB nonce host):
- `Host: <nonce>.oob`
- `X-Forwarded-Host: <nonce>.oob`
- `X-Forwarded-Host: <nonce>.oob` + a valid `Host: {target}` (many apps trust XFH over Host)
- `X-Host`, `X-Forwarded-Server`, `Forwarded: host=<nonce>.oob`
- dual-Host / absolute-URI request line tricks (`GET https://{target}/reset ...` with a second Host).
- `curl -sk -X POST https://{target}/api/forgot -H 'X-Forwarded-Host: <nonce>.oob' -d 'email=victim@example.com'`
### 2. Inspect the emitted link
- Read the reset email/response for the link the app built. Decision points:
- link host = your injected `<nonce>.oob` → full poisoning (token will hit attacker host).
- link host correct BUT an OOB hit fires from a loaded resource (logo/beacon) carrying the token in the path/query/Referer → token leak via resource.
- only a mid-body reflection with the real link host unchanged → header reflection, lower severity.
### 3. Confirm token delivery to attacker
- Best proof (OOB): the reset token lands at your collector — quote the collector log line with the token (mask most of it, keep a per-attempt nonce/prefix) tied to THIS request.
- Where email isn't observable, prove the generated link itself embeds the attacker host (reflected link in a response/API) — show the raw poisoned link.
- Do NOT actually take over the victim account; proving the token would be delivered to the attacker host is sufficient.
### 4. Disprove false positives
- App uses a fixed canonical base URL (config) → link host is always correct regardless of headers → not poisonable.
- `Host` validated against an allowlist / 400 on unknown host → not poisonable.
- Header reflected only in a page body, never in the actual reset link/token → lower severity, not token theft.
- OOB hit fires but carries NO token (just a generic asset fetch) → not a token leak.
### 5. Chaining hooks
- Delivered reset token → account-takeover chain (the reset flow itself).
- Trusts `X-Forwarded-Host` → likely also web-cache poisoning / SSRF on the same header; hand to those agents.
- Works via an open redirect in the reset link → pair with the open_redirect agent.
### 6. Report Format
For each CONFIRMED finding:
```
FINDING:
- Title: Password Reset Poisoning Specialist at [endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-640
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Vector: [parameter/header/flow]
- Payload: [exact payload/command]
- Evidence: [proof of exploitation]
- Impact: Reset links point to attacker host, leaking reset tokens
- Remediation: Use a fixed canonical base URL, validate Host, don't build links from request headers
```
## System Prompt
You are a reset-poisoning specialist. Report only when the reset URL/token is built from attacker-controlled host input, evidenced by the poisoned link or an OOB hit carrying the token (per-attempt nonce). Header reflection in a page body without the actual reset link/token being poisoned is lower severity, not token theft. Never take over the victim account — proving the token would reach the attacker host is enough. Keep all probing benign and read-only.
