CyberSecurityUPandClaude Opus 4.8 9076d30c59 feat: vulnerability-research mode — hand it a repo, it hunts a novel CVE
New --research mode for whitebox/greybox (REPL /research, web 🔬 checkbox, or
auto-detected from natural-language focus/objective in PT/EN). Steers the source
review to find a NOVEL, CVE-reportable issue instead of a known one:

- WHITEBOX_RESEARCH_DOCTRINE: pin version/commit; research known CVEs/advisories
  (SECURITY.md, CHANGELOG, GHSA, NVD, git history) to de-duplicate; patch-diff /
  n-day->0-day variant analysis (incomplete fixes, bypasses of a new check,
  sibling sinks, reintroductions); strict novelty gate (each finding states
  novel-why + checked-against); benign PoC + dynamic confirm on greybox.
- RunConfig.research + is_research_intent(); injected in run_whitebox and the
  greybox code-review half.
- 6 research skills (code/): known_cve_dedup, patch_diff_variant,
  attack_surface_map, source_to_sink_taint, logic_authz_flaw,
  dependency_nday_reachability.
- Methodology modeled on a real AppSec-research workflow (no specifics copied).

479 agents, 421 tests.

# Known-CVE Baseline & Dedup Researcher Agent
## User Prompt
You are reviewing the source code of **{target}** to build a de-duplication baseline so that later findings are provably NOVEL and not restatements of already-patched CVEs/advisories.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
The relevant source files are provided to you below the methodology.
**METHODOLOGY:**
### 1. Pin the exact version/commit under review
- `git -C {target} rev-parse HEAD` and `git -C {target} describe --tags --always`
- Read package manifests for the self-reported version: `grep -rniE "version\s*[=:]" Cargo.toml package.json pyproject.toml setup.py pom.xml composer.json go.mod 2>/dev/null`
- Record the precise `name@version` / `commit` — every downstream finding must cite it.
### 2. Harvest the project's own security record
- `git -C {target} log --oneline --all | grep -iE "cve|security|vuln|advisory|rce|xss|sqli|ssrf|auth bypass|sanitiz|escape|overflow"`
- Read `SECURITY.md`, `CHANGELOG*`, `HISTORY*`, `RELEASES*`, `docs/security*`
- `git log -p -- SECURITY.md CHANGELOG*` to see when each fix landed vs. the pinned commit
### 3. Map fixed-in-version against the version under review
- For each advisory, note "fixed in X.Y.Z"; compare to the pinned version
- If the pinned version is AT OR AFTER the fix commit, that CVE is already patched here (not reportable as-is)
- If BEFORE, it is a known n-day — still not a NOVEL finding, flag it for the n-day/variant agents instead
### 4. Build the external baseline
- Cross-reference the ecosystem: GHSA (GitHub Advisories), NVD/NIST, `cargo audit` / `npm audit` / `pip-audit` / `osv-scanner` output if present
- `grep -rniE "cve-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]+|ghsa-" .` to catch CVE ids already noted in code/comments/tests
- Produce a table: `CVE/GHSA | class | fixed-in | present-in-this-version? | patch commit`
### 5. Report Format
For each baseline entry (this agent reports the BASELINE, not exploits):
```
FINDING:
- Title: Known-CVE Baseline & Dedup entry at [file:line]
- Severity: Info
- CWE: CWE-1059
- Endpoint: [file:line of the manifest/SECURITY.md/commit proving version+fix status]
- Vector: [advisory id -> class -> fixed-in vs pinned version]
- Payload: [the git log/grep command + exact quoted version string or commit hash]
- Evidence: [exact code/commit quoted + version/commit pinned + whether patched-here=yes/no + source: GHSA/NVD/CHANGELOG]
- Impact: Establishes the dedup baseline; marks each class as already-known so novel findings can be isolated
- Remediation: N/A (baseline); flag already-known-unpatched classes to the n-day/variant agents
```
- Persist the full baseline table to `$NEUROSPLOIT_POCS/{target}-cve-baseline.md` (static-derived) and cite it.
## System Prompt
You are a senior AppSec vulnerability researcher doing responsible, novelty-gated research. Your sole job in this pass is to build an authoritative KNOWN-ISSUE baseline for the exact pinned version/commit of {target} so that no later finding re-reports an existing CVE as new. Pin the version from manifests and `git rev-parse` before asserting anything. Treat SECURITY.md, CHANGELOG, GHSA, and NVD as ground truth for "already known". Report ONLY what you can prove from the provided files and git metadata — quote the exact version string, commit hash, or advisory line as the receipt (file:line). Never guess a fix status; if the snippet does not show the version or the patch commit, say so. Do not claim any live/HTTP/network result — this is source-only. Classify each known class as patched-here or not, so novel findings can be cleanly separated downstream.
