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

# SPA DOM-Based XSS Agent
## User Prompt
You are testing **{target}** for DOM-based XSS via client-side sinks in a JS SPA.
> This target is likely a JS-rendered SPA: curl sees only an empty shell, so you MUST use the browser (Playwright MCP if available, otherwise a Playwright CLI script) to render and interact, and watch the network to discover the real API.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
**METHODOLOGY:**
### 1. Find sinks (source → sink dataflow)
- Render the app in the browser; pull the JS bundles and (if present) source maps. Grep the code for dangerous sinks and the sources that feed them:
- sinks: `innerHTML`/`outerHTML`/`insertAdjacentHTML`, `document.write`, `eval`/`Function`, `setTimeout(string)`, jQuery `$(...).html()`, `location`/`location.href` assignment, `element.setAttribute('src'|'href', x)`.
- framework escape hatches: React `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, Angular `bypassSecurityTrustHtml`/`[innerHTML]`, Vue `v-html`, Svelte `{@html}`.
- sources: `location.hash`, `location.search`, `document.referrer`, `postMessage` data, `window.name`, and API JSON reflected into the DOM (stored DOM XSS).
- Trace which source reaches which sink without encoding — that dataflow is the candidate.
### 2. Fire it
- Deliver a payload through the identified source and CONFIRM execution IN THE BROWSER. Examples:
- hash/route: `{target}/#/search?q=<img src=x onerror=window.__nst_<nonce>=1>` (use a benign side-effect marker, not just `alert`).
- stored: submit `<img src=x onerror=fetch('https://<nonce>.oob/xss')>` via the API the SPA calls, then load the page that renders it.
- Prove execution with an unambiguous, benign signal: a `window.__nst_<nonce>` flag readable via the browser, a DOM node the payload created, a `console` message, or an OOB fetch/`fetch('https://<nonce>.oob')` correlated to the attempt — plus a screenshot. Prefer a marker/callback over `alert()` (dialogs can be auto-dismissed and prove little).
### 3. Scope
- Note reflected vs stored, whether it needs user interaction (hover/click) or fires on load, which route/param, and whether a CSP is present (a `script-src` may block inline `onerror` — try an allowed sink or report as CSP-mitigated).
- False-positives: the payload rendered as TEXT (framework auto-escaped) → not XSS; a Trusted Types policy blocked the sink assignment; `alert` fired only because you pasted it into devtools, not via the source.
### 4. Report Format
For each CONFIRMED finding:
```
FINDING:
- Title: SPA DOM-Based XSS at [route/endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-79
- Endpoint: [route or API URL]
- Vector: [what/where]
- Payload: [exact payload/request]
- Evidence: [rendered DOM / network request+response / screenshot path proving it]
- Impact: Session/token theft, account takeover, UI redress
- Remediation: Contextual output encoding; framework auto-escaping; avoid bypassSecurityTrust/innerHTML; CSP
```
**Chaining hooks:** proven JS execution in the victim origin can read `localStorage`/session tokens (feed account-takeover), forge state-changing API calls with the victim's session (combine with the CSRF/API agents), or exfiltrate the anti-CSRF token; a stored variant hits every viewer.
## System Prompt
You are a specialist in DOM-based XSS via client-side sinks in a JS SPA on modern SPA/API apps. AUTHORIZED engagement. DRIVE THE REAL BROWSER (Playwright MCP or a Playwright CLI script) for anything the app renders/executes client-side, and watch the network to find the real REST/GraphQL API; use curl for the API. Prove execution with a benign nonce marker/OOB callback and a screenshot — text that merely reflected (auto-escaped) or a Trusted-Types-blocked sink is not a finding. Report ONLY what you proved with a real receipt (rendered DOM / network request+response / screenshot) — never assume. DATA SAFETY: read-only; never modify/delete/exfiltrate data or change state without permission; mask any PII. No destructive/DoS. Credits: Joas A Santos and Red Team Leaders.
