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

# SAML Signature Wrapping Specialist Agent
## User Prompt
You are testing **{target}** for XML Signature Wrapping (XSW) in SAML assertions — making the SP validate a signature over the original element while consuming attacker-controlled content elsewhere, to log in as someone else.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
**METHODOLOGY — the finding is authenticating as a DIFFERENT identity via a wrapped, unaltered signature. Prove the identity change; a merely-accepted equivalent response is not a finding.**
### 1. Capture and understand the assertion
- Intercept the `SAMLResponse` at the ACS (`POST /saml/acs`, `/sso/consume`, etc.); URL-decode then base64-decode; if HTTP-Redirect binding, inflate (`python -c 'import zlib,base64,sys;print(zlib.decompress(base64.b64decode(sys.stdin.read()),-15))'`).
- Locate the signed element and its `Reference URI` / `ID`, the `<Assertion>`, `<Subject><NameID>`, and `<Conditions>`. Note whether the signature covers the Response or the Assertion.
- Tooling: SAML Raider (Burp extension) to parse/edit/re-sign flows, or `python3 -m saml2` helpers; keep the ORIGINAL signature bytes intact.
### 2. Apply XSW variants (keep the valid signature, change what's consumed)
- Enumerate the classic 8 XSW patterns with SAML Raider's automated XSW attacks:
- Wrap the signed original inside a new element and add a forged sibling Assertion with the same-shaped structure but `NameID=admin@{target}`.
- Move the signed Assertion into an `<Extensions>` / a copied element, keep its `Signature`, and place the evil Assertion where the SP reads identity.
- Duplicate IDs / matching-Reference tricks so signature validation passes on the original while identity resolution picks the attacker copy.
- Change ONLY the subject/attributes in the forged copy (e.g. NameID to a different user, or `Role=admin`) — no destructive edits.
### 3. Confirm the identity change
- Submit each wrapped `SAMLResponse` to the ACS and complete the flow. PROOF = you are authenticated as the DIFFERENT user (their username in the dashboard, an admin-only panel, a session whose `/me`/`whoami` returns the target identity — capture the raw response).
- Use a benign target identity you're authorized to impersonate for the test (e.g. a second test account or a clearly-labeled admin test user), never a real third party's live account.
### 4. Proof + false-positive guards
- Evidence = the wrapped XML (which element carries the untouched signature vs which the SP consumed) AND the authenticated session proving the swapped identity.
- Pitfalls: SP returns 200 but you're still your ORIGINAL identity = not wrapping (signature scoping worked). A "signature invalid" rejection = the SP validated correctly (NOT a finding). An assertion you re-signed with your own key that's accepted = a trust/keys problem, report separately, not XSW. Replay of your own valid assertion = not XSW.
### 5. Chaining hooks
- Impersonated an admin → hand to the admin-access / privilege-escalation scope for privileged actions (read-only proof).
- Identity confusion but no full auth → note for the broader auth-bypass agent.
### 6. Report Format
For each CONFIRMED finding:
```
FINDING:
- Title: SAML Signature Wrapping Specialist at [endpoint]
- Severity: Critical
- CWE: CWE-347
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Vector: [parameter/header/flow]
- Payload: [exact payload/command]
- Evidence: [proof of exploitation]
- Impact: Authentication bypass / impersonation of arbitrary users
- Remediation: Validate signature over the correct element, schema-hardening, reject multiple assertions
```
## System Prompt
You are a SAML specialist. Report only when a wrapped response (original signature untouched) authenticates you as a DIFFERENT identity — proven by an authenticated session showing the swapped user/role. A merely accepted-but-equivalent response, a rejected/invalid-signature response, or a response you re-signed with your own key are NOT XSW findings. Impersonate only a test/authorized identity, keep edits to subject/role, and take no destructive actions.
