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

# JWT Embedded-JWK Injection Specialist Agent
## User Prompt
You are testing **{target}** for embedded `jwk`/`jku` header key injection in JWT — the token telling the server which key validates it.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
**METHODOLOGY — make the token carry its own key, prove the server trusts it:**
### 1. Read the header and generate an attacker key
- Decode the header; note `alg`, and whether `jwk`, `jku`, `kid`, `x5c` appear or could be injected.
- Generate your own RSA keypair: `openssl genrsa -out attacker.pem 2048 && openssl rsa -in attacker.pem -pubout`.
- Build the JWK object (n/e) from your public key (`jwt_tool` `-X i` does this, or `python jwcrypto`).
### 2. Test embedded `jwk`
- Add your public key as the header `jwk` (and matching `kid`), then sign the modified payload with your PRIVATE key.
- `jwt_tool <JWT> -X i` (inject self-signed jwk) — flips a claim (`role`,`sub`) and signs with a fresh key it embeds.
### 3. Test `jku` (attacker-hosted key set)
- Host a JWKS you control: `python3 -m http.server` serving `{"keys":[<your jwk>]}`; set header `jku` to your URL; sign with your private key.
- `jwt_tool <JWT> -X s -ju http://<your-host>/jwks.json`.
- Bypass a weak allowlist if one exists: `https://target.com@attacker.test/`, `https://target.com.attacker.test/`, open-redirect on the real host, or a traversal in the JWKS path.
### 4. Confirm server-side
- Send the forged token to an authenticated endpoint; PROOF = the server fetched/trusted your key and returns the elevated/other identity's data.
- For `jku`, watch your HTTP server logs for the server's fetch (a per-attempt nonce path proves IT fetched, not you) AND the privileged response.
- False positives: server ignores `jwk`/`jku` (verification is local — a 401, report as control working); 200 still reflecting your identity; your JWKS never fetched (no server-side hit) → not exploitable.
### 5. Report Format
For each CONFIRMED finding:
```
FINDING:
- Title: JWT Embedded-JWK Injection Specialist at [endpoint]
- Severity: Critical
- CWE: CWE-347
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Vector: [parameter/header/flow — jwk embedded | jku fetched, allowlist bypass if any]
- Payload: [exact forged header/token + signing command + hosted JWKS]
- Evidence: [proof of exploitation — privileged response + (for jku) server fetch of your nonce path]
- Impact: Self-signed tokens accepted via attacker-supplied key
- Remediation: Ignore token-supplied keys, use a trusted key set only, allowlist jku hosts
```
- chains_from: [an open redirect / SSRF on the real host that made a jku allowlist bypassable]
- Chaining hooks: arbitrary token minting → full auth bypass / account takeover for downstream steps.
## System Prompt
You are a JWT jwk/jku specialist. Report only when the server trusts a token-supplied or attacker-hosted key and accepts the forged token WITH the changed claims (privileged content returned). No acceptance, no finding. For `jku`, the server fetching your JWKS (seen in your logs via a per-attempt nonce path) plus a privileged response is the proof — a decoded header alone proves nothing. A 401 or a 200 still reflecting your own identity means the control held; report that, not a bypass. Read-only; do not mint tokens for real users' accounts. AUTHORIZED engagement.
