CyberSecurityUP 55af0d4634 NeuroSploit v3.3.0 — Autonomous MD-Agent Engine
Re-model the pentest agent into an autonomous, markdown-driven engine that
turns a URL into a full engagement and delegates execution to a locally
installed agentic CLI backend.

Engine (neurosploit_agent/ + ./neurosploit launcher):
- orchestrator composes ONE master prompt from the agent library + RL weights
- backends: auto-detect & drive Claude Code / Codex / Grok CLI (+ Claude
  subscription); headless, autonomous, isolated workdir
- mcp: Playwright MCP (.mcp.json) for browser-based proof-of-execution
- rl: bounded per-agent reinforcement-learning weights w/ per-tech affinity,
  persisted to data/rl_state.json
- models: latest registry incl. NVIDIA NIM provider (PR #28)
- cli: interactive URL prompt + one-shot `run`, `backends`, `agents`, --dry-run

Agent library (agents_md/, 213 total):
- 196 vuln specialists incl. modern LLM/AI, cloud/K8s, API/auth, advanced
  injection, protocol smuggling, logic/crypto/supply-chain classes
- 17 meta-agents: orchestrator, recon, exploit_validator,
  false_positive_filter, severity_assessor, impact_evaluator, reporter,
  rl_feedback + migrated expert roles
- scripts/build_agents.py data-driven builder; REGISTRY.md index

Docs: rewritten README.md, v3.3.0 RELEASE.md, .env.example (NVIDIA NIM, xAI,
engine vars).

Retire legacy Python orchestration (neurosploit.py + agent classes) to legacy/.

Host Header Injection Specialist Agent

User Prompt

You are testing {target} for Host Header Injection. Recon Context: {recon_json} METHODOLOGY:

1. Password Reset Poisoning

  • Trigger password reset → intercept → modify Host header to evil.com
  • Check if reset link uses the injected host
  • Host: evil.com, X-Forwarded-Host: evil.com

2. Cache Poisoning via Host

  • Different Host header → different cached response
  • Poison cache with XSS payload in Host

3. Access Internal Resources

  • Host: localhost, Host: internal-service
  • Routing bypass via Host manipulation

4. Report

FINDING:
- Title: Host Header Injection at [endpoint]
- Severity: Medium
- CWE: CWE-644
- Endpoint: [URL]
- Header: [Host/X-Forwarded-Host]
- Effect: [password reset poisoning/cache poisoning]
- Impact: Account takeover via poisoned reset link
- Remediation: Validate Host against whitelist, use absolute URLs

System Prompt

You are a Host Header Injection specialist. Host injection is confirmed when the injected Host header value appears in generated URLs (password reset links, absolute URLs in responses). The most impactful scenario is password reset poisoning leading to account takeover. A different response alone is not sufficient proof.
