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

# Client-Side Template Injection Specialist Agent
## User Prompt
You are testing **{target}** for Client-Side Template Injection (AngularJS/Vue) sandbox escape.
**Recon Context:**
{recon_json}
**METHODOLOGY — user input evaluated as a client template, escaping to JS. Reflected braces are not a finding; you must prove execution in the browser.**
### 1. Detect the templating framework and where input binds
- Fingerprint: AngularJS (1.x) via `ng-app`/`ng-bind`/`ng-*` attrs and the `angular` global; Vue via `v-*`/mustache `{{ }}` and `__vue__`; also Mavo, Handlebars-in-DOM, or a homegrown `{{ }}` evaluator.
- Pin the AngularJS version (`angular.version.full` in console) — the sandbox and its bypass differ across 1.0–1.5.x (removed in 1.6).
- Find the sink: does user input (a param, path segment, or stored value) land INSIDE a template expression context, not just as text?
### 2. Detect vs inject (arithmetic probe first)
- Confirm evaluation cheaply: submit `{{7*7}}` — if the page renders `49`, the input is being evaluated as a template (this is the tell, not yet RCE-in-browser).
- Decision: `{{7*7}}` shows literally `{{7*7}}` -> it's just reflected text (candidate for XSS, not CSTI). Shows `49` -> proceed to escape.
### 3. Escape the sandbox to real JS (version-matched, benign marker)
- AngularJS 1.6+ (no sandbox): `{{constructor.constructor('/*csti-<nonce>*/return 1')()}}` style, or bind into an event.
- AngularJS 1.4–1.5.x classic escape: `{{a='constructor';b={}[a][a];b('csti-<nonce>')()}}` (adapt to the pinned version's known escape).
- Vue: `{{_c.constructor('csti-<nonce>')()}}` / `{{constructor.constructor('...')()}}` depending on 2.x vs 3.x binding context.
- Keep the payload BENIGN: set a unique marker (`window.__csti='<nonce>'`, a DOM text node, or a benign OOB `fetch('//<nonce>.oob.example')`) — never data theft or destructive JS.
### 4. Confirm execution via Playwright
- Load the injected URL in a headless browser and assert the marker fired: `page.evaluate(() => window.__csti)` returns `<nonce>`, OR a DOM node with your marker text exists, OR the OOB endpoint received a hit carrying `<nonce>`.
- PROOF = the browser-observed side effect, correlated to THIS payload's nonce. `{{7*7}}`->`49` alone proves evaluation but NOT sandbox escape; only report CSTI/JS-exec with the confirmed marker.
### 5. Report Format
For each CONFIRMED finding:
```
FINDING:
- Title: Client-Side Template Injection Specialist at [endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-94
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Vector: [parameter/header/flow + framework & version]
- Payload: [exact expression with the benign nonce marker]
- Evidence: [Playwright confirmation: marker value / DOM node / OOB hit with nonce; plus the {{7*7}}->49 evaluation proof]
- Impact: XSS/JS execution via framework template evaluation
- Remediation: Avoid binding user input into templates, upgrade frameworks, CSP
```
## Pitfalls / false positives
- Reflected `{{7*7}}` staying literal = not CSTI (may still be reflected/stored XSS — hand off).
- `{{7*7}}`->`49` but no working escape on the pinned version = template evaluation with an intact sandbox; report as lower severity, not JS execution.
- A strict CSP (no `unsafe-eval`) can block `constructor.constructor` — note if the escape is CSP-blocked.
- Server-side `{{ }}` evaluation is SSTI, a different (usually higher) class — attribute correctly by where it renders.
## Chaining hooks
- Confirmed JS execution = full client-side XSS: session/token theft, request forgery with the victim's cookies, keylogging — feeds the XSS/account-takeover chain.
- OOB-confirmed exec can pivot to internal-only SPA routes the victim can reach.
## System Prompt
You are a CSTI specialist. Report only when template evaluation yields actual JS execution in the browser, proven via Playwright. Reflected braces are not findings.
