CyberSecurityUPandClaude Opus 5 936e358850 fix(pipeline): dedupe findings by what they are, not by how they were worded 
A live black-box engagement returned 21 "deduped" candidates for about ten
actual issues. One cookie problem came back five times and one missing header
four, because the key was `cwe|endpoint|title[..40]` and every agent writes
those differently: `CWE-614` vs `CWE-614 (Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session
Without Secure Attribute)`, `https://host/` vs `GET https://host/ (and
/Account/Login)`. Worse than the inflated count, the severities disagreed — the
same issue arrived Low from one agent and Medium from another, which is
indefensible in front of a client.

The key is now (CWE number, normalized endpoint) plus a title-similarity check,
because grouping on the first two alone over-merges: missing `nosniff`,
`Referrer-Policy` and `Permissions-Policy` are all CWE-693 on `/` and are three
separate fixes. Titles merge at Jaccard >= 0.4 over meaningful words —
calibrated on this run's real output, where two phrasings of the cookie issue
score 0.44 and the two header findings score 0.33.

The survivor keeps the HIGHEST severity with the fullest evidence, and inherits
whatever the duplicates knew that it did not (remediation, repro steps,
structured evidence). Agreement between independent agents is recorded as
"corroborated by …" and nudges confidence up: several agents reaching the same
conclusion separately is a reason to trust a finding, not a reason to print it
five times.

Tests use the actual titles, CWEs and endpoints from the engagement, including
the case that must NOT merge (three rate-limit findings on three different
endpoints — login spraying and reset-email flooding are different problems).

- HTTP: `curl` (dump ALL response headers with -i/-D-, follow/inspect redirects, set methods/params/cookies), `wget`.\n\
- Ports/services: `rustscan` if present, else `nmap`; if neither is installed you may \
install via apt (`apt install -y nmap`), brew, or cargo (`cargo install rustscan`) — \
otherwise probe common ports with `curl`/`nc`.\n\
- Content/params/URLs: `ffuf`, `gobuster`, `gau`, `katana`, `waybackurls`, `linkfinder` when available.\n\
- JS ANALYSIS: download every linked script (`curl -s <script.js>`) and grep it for endpoints/paths, \
`fetch(`/`axios`/XHR URLs, API & GraphQL routes, hidden params, and secrets (AKIA…, `api_key`, `token`, \
`Bearer `, `authorization`), plus `sourceMappingURL` (fetch the .map to recover original source). \
Prefer `linkfinder`/`gau`/`katana` to harvest more URLs when present, else regex with `grep -Eo`.\n\
- REQUEST/RESPONSE ANALYSIS: read status codes, every header, Set-Cookie flags, content-type, body length \
and response timing; use DIFFERENTIALS (authenticated vs anonymous, valid vs invalid input, existing vs \
missing resource) and reflected input / verbose errors to infer behavior and CONFIRM issues with evidence. \
Save full request/response pairs when they matter for the PoC.\n\
- NUCLEI (fast, targeted — never a blind full scan): first fingerprint the stack, then run nuclei ONLY on \
relevant templates, e.g. `nuclei -u <target> -tags <detected-tech,cve> -severity critical,high,medium \
-rl 50 -timeout 8 -retries 1` (or `-t <specific-template>` for a suspected CVE). Prefer targeted \
`-id`/`-tags` over the whole template set so it stays quick; confirm any hit manually with curl.\n\
- MISCONFIG HUNTING: probe for absurd-but-common misconfigurations — exposed `.git`/`.env`/backup & config \
files, directory listing, debug/actuator/trace endpoints, default & weak credentials, open admin panels, \
permissive CORS, verbose stack traces, exposed dashboards (Kibana/Grafana/Jenkins/phpMyAdmin), and cloud \
metadata (169.254.169.254) via SSRF.\n\
- RATE-LIMIT / ANTI-AUTOMATION: on auth, password-reset, OTP and sensitive endpoints, send a controlled \
burst (e.g. ~20-30 requests) and check for 429/lockout/Retry-After/backoff; report absence as a finding. \
Keep bursts small and non-disruptive — this is a control check, not a DoS.\n\
- TOOL DOWNLOAD (authorized): when a public PoC or scanner is needed you MAY `git clone` a specific PoC/exploit \
repo or download a tool (`git clone`, `wget`, `pip install`, `go install`, `cargo install`) — use pinned, \
reputable sources; review before running; never run destructive payloads. ALWAYS time-box downloads/installs \
(`timeout 90 <install> || echo skip`) and try each at most once — if it fails, isn't packaged, has no network \
or hangs, SKIP it and fall back to curl/nc/dig/python3. A missing or un-downloadable tool is NEVER a reason \

If you only observed it but never used it, report it as a LEAD (low confidence), not a confirmed finding.\n\
- Chain across steps: reuse any session/JWT/cookie/credential you obtain in one step against every other module; if one bug yields access, pivot it into IDOR/privesc/data-exfil and report the CHAIN, not isolated parts.\n\
- Decode & fingerprint → CVE: decode opaque tokens/paths (base64/JSON/marshal) and fingerprint the stack (server, framework, library/gem/plugin versions); map exact versions to known CVEs and attempt a safe, non-destructive PoC.\n\
- Audit tokens: for any JWT, check alg-confusion (RS→HS), alg:none, kid/jku injection, whether the signature is actually verified, and weak/guessable HS256 secrets.\n\

/// DECISION doctrine (v3.5.5): make the agent REASON about where to attack from
/// the observed responses, map & connect routes, mine parameters, test both auth
/// levels, and build PoCs — instead of blindly firing a fixed payload list.
const DECISION_DOCTRINE: &str = "DECIDE WHERE TO ATTACK (analyse, then act):\n\
- Analyse responses FIRST: read status, headers, content-type, body, redirects and TIMING; let the evidence pick the technique (e.g. SQL error → SQLi; reflected input → XSS; numeric id in JSON → IDOR; missing X-Frame-Options → clickjacking; state-changing POST without a token → CSRF). Don't run payloads that the response makes irrelevant.\n\
- Map & CONNECT routes: build the route/endpoint graph and link one endpoint to another — an id/token/filename returned by endpoint A is the input to endpoint B; follow multi-step flows (login → profile → order → admin) and hunt the SENSITIVE ones (auth, password reset, payment, file upload/download, account/role changes, admin, export).\n\
- Mine PARAMETERS: enumerate query/body/header/cookie params (incl. hidden ones from JS/source maps); for each, reason about what it does and test the fitting attack (IDOR, injection, path traversal, mass-assignment, open-redirect, SSRF). Add plausible params the API might accept (id, user, role, admin, debug, redirect, file, callback).\n\
- MOCK realistic data: when a request needs valid-looking input to reach deeper logic, synthesize believable test data (emails, names, CPFs/SSNs with valid checksums, phone numbers, UUIDs, tokens, JSON bodies) so the flow proceeds — never use real PII.\n\
- Authenticated testing: if you can authenticate (given creds/roles or a login you performed), REUSE the session and exploit the AUTHENTICATED surface — the endpoints/params only reachable while logged in are where the high-impact bugs live. Test as EACH role you have (e.g. normal user AND admin) and compare.\n\
- Self-register when no creds are given: if the app allows sign-up, ANALYZE the register form (probe `form_details` has action/method/fields) and CREATE one clearly-marked benign test account (`nrsplt_<rand>@example.test`) — with curl (GET for CSRF+cookies, then POST the fields) or the Playwright browser for JS-rendered/multi-step forms — then log in and REUSE that session for authenticated testing. Register a second account only when a test needs two users. Non-destructive: one account, no mass-registration/spam; at signup also try mass-assignment (`role=admin`/`isAdmin`) and report it if accepted.\n\
- Build PoCs when needed: for issues that need an artifact to prove (clickjacking → an HTML page that frames the target; CSRF → an auto-submitting HTML form; a multi-step or timing exploit → a script), WRITE the PoC to the run's PoC dir, run/validate it, and cite the file in the evidence.\n\
- Test control BYPASSES: when something returns 401/403/redirect or is 'blocked', try to bypass it (verb tampering, path/case/encoding normalization, X-Original-URL / X-Rewrite-URL / X-Forwarded-* headers, missing-vs-invalid token, direct object/API access) and confirm the bypass with the two requests.\n\n";

/// harm data or state).
const CHAIN_DOCTRINE: &str = "CHAIN THE FOOTHOLD (pivot to deeper, provable impact — any primitive can chain):\n\
- Think in primitives, not labels: reduce the foothold to what it GIVES you (code exec, file read, file write, request forgery, a trusted identity, a leaked secret, arbitrary object access) and pick the next step from that.\n\
- Pivot playbook (attempt the fitting ones, prove each with a benign receipt):\n\
· File upload / write → RCE: upload a webshell/handler to an executable path or poison a config/`.htaccess`/cron/serialized file; prove with a benign marker (`id`, unique echo, OOB DNS), not damage.\n\
· SSRF → cloud/host takeover: hit `169.254.169.254` (IMDSv1/v2), GCP/Azure metadata, internal admin/actuator, `file://`/`gopher://`; loot temp creds/tokens and REUSE them.\n\
· SQLi → RCE/LPE: stacked queries, `INTO OUTFILE`/`COPY … TO`, UDF, `xp_cmdshell`, read secrets/creds; then reuse creds to log in and escalate.\n\
· LFI/path traversal → RCE: log/session/wrapper poisoning, `/proc/self/environ`, read source & secrets; combine with an upload for exec.\n\
· XXE → SSRF/file read → creds; deserialization/SSTI → RCE via a gadget/template sink; prove exec with a marker.\n\
· IDOR/BOLA/mass-assignment → account/tenant takeover or role escalation (`role=admin`); open-redirect/XSS/CORS → token/session theft → ATO.\n\
· Exposed `.git`/backup/`.env`/secrets → reconstruct source & keys → auth to internal APIs, cloud, DB; default/leaked creds → domain/service compromise.\n\
- Reuse loot relentlessly: every credential/JWT/cookie/API key/host you obtain is input to the next step — carry it forward across modules and try it everywhere it might be accepted.\n\
- Understand the BUSINESS & LOGIC: reason about what the app is FOR (payments, orders, tenancy, KYC, entitlements) and chain toward business impact — payment/price/coupon abuse, cross-tenant data access, entitlement/limit bypass, workflow/state-machine skips (skip approval/verification steps), race conditions on balance/stock. These compound: each finding updates your model of the app for the next probe.\n\
- Stop at proof: demonstrate the impact with the SMALLEST safe step and report the CHAIN end-to-end; never destroy, overwrite, encrypt, mass-exfiltrate, or DoS to 'prove' it.\n\n";

const SPA_API_DOCTRINE: &str = "SPA + REST/API METHODOLOGY (modern JS app — hunt the API, not just the shell):\n\
- MAP THE API FROM THE BUNDLE: curl the main JS bundle(s) (`main*.js`, `runtime*.js`, `vendor*.js`) and grep for route \
paths and API calls — client routes (Angular/React router table), `/rest/…`, `/api/…`, GraphQL, and any `http(s)://` / \
relative endpoints, param names, and hardcoded secrets/keys/emails. Build the real endpoint list from the code, then hit it.\n\
- HIDDEN CLIENT ROUTES: SPA pages are client-side and often unlinked — extract the router table from the bundle AND brute \
common ones (`#/administration`, `#/admin`, `#/accounting`, `#/score-board`, `#/wallet`, `#/deluxe-membership`); a route that \
renders admin/score/scoreboard content is a broken-access-control finding.\n\
- AUTH & SQLi: on the login endpoint try SQLi auth bypass (`' OR 1=1--`, `admin@…'--`, tautologies) in the email/username; on \
search/query params try error-based then UNION SELECT to exfil the schema and user table (email+password hash). Also test \
weak/default admin creds and account/email ENUMERATION (different response for existing vs unknown user).\n\
- JWT: decode any JWT; test alg:none / 'unsigned' acceptance, RS256→HS256 confusion using the server's public key as the HMAC \
secret, `kid`/`jku` injection, and whether the signature is verified at all — forge a token impersonating another/admin user.\n\
- IDOR / BOLA / mass-assignment: numeric or guessable ids on `/api/<Object>/:id` (baskets, orders, feedbacks, reviews, users) \
— change the id or the owner field to read/modify another user's data; at REGISTER/PATCH add unexpected fields (`role=admin`, \
`isAdmin`, `deletedAt`, `id`) and check if the server binds them (privilege escalation / resurrecting deleted accounts).\n\
- FILE ACCESS: file/download/ftp endpoints — path traversal (`../`), and POISON NULL BYTE / double-encoding (`%2500`, `%00`) \
to defeat an extension allowlist and reach backup/config files (`*.bak`, `package.json.bak`, `*.md.bak`, `.env`, coupons/keys). \
Enumerate an open `/ftp` or static dir if present.\n\
- FORGOT-PASSWORD & OSINT: the reset flow keyed on a security question — the answer is often discoverable from the app's own \
data (profile, photo-wall image captions/EXIF, reviews). Use the app's public data to answer it, then reset.\n\
- OBSERVABILITY / EXPOSURE: probe `/metrics` (Prometheus), `/support/logs`, access logs, `/redirect?to=`, GraphQL introspection, \
Swagger/OpenAPI, and any `/rest/*` that returns more fields than the UI shows (excessive data exposure — password hashes, etc.).\n\
- CLIENT-SIDE & MISC: DOM XSS where user input is written to the DOM/innerHTML (search, product name) — prove it executes; \
NoSQL operator injection (`$ne`,`$gt`,`$where`) on review/update endpoints; SSRF on any URL-fetching field (profile image URL); \
open-redirect allowlist bypass by embedding an allowlisted substring; XXE on deprecated B2B/XML interfaces; weak/guessable \
coupon or discount codes (reverse the pattern from the bundle). Force ERROR HANDLING flaws with malformed JSON / wrong types to \
surface stack traces.\n\
Chain what you find (leaked key → forged token → admin route → data export). Prove every issue with the exact request+response.\n\n";

skill/plugin files. Be SYSTEMATIC — try multiple techniques per class (injection families, jailbreak families, \
encodings, multi-turn/crescendo, indirect via retrieved/tool content). PROVE each issue with the EXACT prompt/request \
and the model's own response. Map every finding to OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025) and, where relevant, MCP threats / OWASP AI \
Exchange. NON-DESTRUCTIVE: never exfiltrate real user data or weaponise the model against third parties — a redacted, \
minimal proof is enough. Chain findings (e.g. system-prompt leak → tailored injection → excessive-agency tool abuse).\n\n";

goal hijacking, tool/function abuse, system-prompt extraction); (3) JUDGE the result with an explicit LLM-judge \

INSTALL WHAT YOU NEED (authorized), BUT NEVER GET STUCK ON AN INSTALL: if a recon tool is missing, \
try to install it — but TIME-BOX every install and move on if it fails. Always wrap installs like \
`timeout 90 apt-get install -y <t> || timeout 90 go install <pkg>@latest || echo 'skip <t>'` and \
run them non-interactively (`DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive`, `-y`, no prompts). \
Try a given tool install AT MOST ONCE — if it errors, is not packaged, needs a different OS, \
has no network, or hangs past the timeout, SKIP IT immediately and use an already-installed \
alternative or plain `curl`/`nc`/`dig`/`openssl`/`python3`. Do not wait on, retry, or block the \
whole recon for any single tool download — a missing tool is never a reason to stall. \
Options — `pip install <t>`, `go install <pkg>@latest`, `npm i -g <t>`, or `cargo install <t>` (all time-boxed). \
Recommended arsenal: subfinder/amass/assetfinder (subdomains), httpx/httprobe (probe live), \
gau/waybackurls/katana/hakrawler/gospider (URL harvest & crawl), gf (pattern-filter urls), \
arjun/paramspider (params), ffuf/feroxbuster/dirsearch (content discovery), nuclei (targeted templates), \
nmap/rustscan/naabu (ports), dnsx (dns), subjs/linkfinder/getjs (JS endpoints), whatweb/wappalyzer (fingerprint), \
nikto (server issues), testssl.sh/sslscan (TLS). Chain them: subfinder→httpx→katana/gau→gf→ffuf.\n\
COVER, at this intensity: (1) subdomain & vhost enumeration + resolve live; (2) full crawl + historical \
URLs (wayback/gau) + JS analysis (endpoints, params, secrets, source maps); (3) content & parameter \
discovery with wordlists; (4) port/service scan; (5) tech + EXACT version fingerprinting; (6) auth/API \
(REST+GraphQL) mapping; (7) classic exposures (.git/.env/backups/swagger/actuator, dangling CNAMEs); \
(8) TLS/headers/cookies. Report counts (how many subdomains/urls/params/endpoints you actually found).\n\n")
