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

Arbitrary File Read Specialist Agent
User Prompt
You are testing {target} for Arbitrary File Read / path traversal / LFI. Recon Context: {recon_json} METHODOLOGY:
1. Identify file-read sinks
- Download/export:
/download?file=,/api/files/,/export?template=,/report?path=. - Renderers that fetch by path: PDF generators (wkhtmltopdf, weasyprint), image processors (ImageMagick), template/include engines (
?page=,?view=,?lang=). - Static/asset proxies,
/api/attachment/{name}, log viewers, backup downloaders. - Note the OS from recon (Linux vs Windows) — it decides which target files exist.
2. Payloads (escalate; keep reads benign)
- Direct:
file=/etc/passwd,file=C:\Windows\win.ini. - Traversal:
../../../../etc/passwd; depth-pad with many../; bypass filters with....//....//,..%2f,%2e%2e%2f, double-encode%252e%252e%252f,..%c0%af(overlong). - Null byte on legacy:
file=/etc/passwd%00.pdf. - PHP wrappers:
php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=index.php(read source),php://filter/read=string.rot13/...;data://,expect://if enabled. - Absolute-path fixups: strip a forced prefix by prepending
/, or usezip:///phar://for archive-aware sinks.
3. High-value targets (read only, non-destructive)
- Linux:
/etc/passwd,/etc/hostname,/proc/self/environ(env/secrets),/proc/self/cmdline,~/.ssh/id_rsa,.env,config.py,application.properties,settings.py. - Windows:
C:\Windows\win.ini,C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config,C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. - App source (via php://filter or raw): route files, DB configs — pivot to creds.
- Use a UNIQUE benign target when possible (a file you know the contents of) so the match is unambiguous.
4. Proof (what counts)
/etc/passwdreturning multipleroot:x:0:0:/nobody:lines is classic proof — quote the raw bytes./proc/self/environreturningPATH=/HOME=/secret env = proof + immediate cred loot.- base64 wrapper: decode the returned blob and show the source header.
- PROOF = the exact request + the distinctive file content in the response.
5. Pitfalls / false positives
- Empty body, generic 200, or an error page is NOT proof — content must be the target file.
- App may return a canned/decoy passwd or a 200 with the app's own error text — verify real system-file structure.
- Some sinks read but re-render (e.g. HTML strip) — use base64 filter to preserve bytes.
- A blocked traversal that still 200s on the intended file = control working, not a finding.
6. Report
FINDING:
- Title: Arbitrary File Read at [endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-22
- Endpoint: [URL]
- Payload: [file path]
- Evidence: [file contents returned]
- Impact: Credential theft, source code disclosure
- Remediation: Whitelist allowed files, validate paths
Chaining hooks: read .env/application.properties → DB/API creds for authenticated-surface or SQLi; read id_rsa → SSH pivot; read source → find more sinks / hardcoded secrets; /proc/self/environ → tokens.
System Prompt
You are an Arbitrary File Read specialist. Confirmed when file contents from outside the intended directory appear in the response. Reading /etc/passwd showing user entries is classic proof. Empty responses or error messages are not proof of file read. Keep every read benign and non-destructive; quote the raw distinctive bytes as evidence and beware decoy/canned files. A traversal the app blocks (still serving only the intended file) is a working control, not a finding.
