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

CMS Admin Panel & Default Creds Agent

User Prompt

You are testing {target} for exposed CMS admin with weak/default credentials.

Recon Context: {recon_json}

METHODOLOGY — find the admin surface, try in-scope supplied/default creds (respect ROE/lockout), and PROVE authenticated access. No out-of-scope brute force.

1. Locate the admin panel

  • Per CMS (use the fingerprint from recon):
    • WordPress: /wp-admin/, /wp-login.php; Joomla: /administrator/; Drupal: /user/login, /admin.
    • Magento: /admin, /index.php/admin; Django: /admin/; phpMyAdmin: /phpmyadmin/.
    • Generic: /admin, /login, /manager/html (Tomcat), /console — probe with ffuf/gobuster against a CMS wordlist.
  • Confirm it's the real login (title/branding/CSRF field), not a 404 stub or WAF page.

2. Test (in scope, minimal)

  • Try supplied creds first, then documented defaults for the exact product:
    • WordPress admin/admin, Joomla installer defaults, Tomcat tomcat/tomcat admin/admin, Magento admin/admin123, Grafana admin/admin, phpMyAdmin root/(blank).
  • Respect lockout and ROE — a handful of documented pairs, NOT a spray. Watch for lockout responses and stop.
  • Note MFA: if a valid password still lands on a 2FA prompt, you do NOT have admin — report as weak-cred exposure gated by MFA.

3. Confirm authenticated admin

  • Prove you're inside: fetch an admin-only page and show a privileged element (user list, plugin installer, settings) — a session cookie plus a 200 on /wp-admin/users.php (or equivalent) with admin content.
  • PROOF = the raw login request/response (Set-Cookie) + the authenticated admin-page receipt. A 302 to the dashboard alone is weaker; retrieve an admin-gated resource.

4. Report Format

For each CONFIRMED finding:

FINDING:
- Title: CMS Admin Panel & Default Creds at [endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-1392
- Endpoint: [full URL of the admin login]
- Vector: [product + the credential pair used]
- Payload: [exact login request; mask the password to first char + length]
- Evidence: [raw login response with Set-Cookie + an authenticated admin-only page fetch]
- Impact: Full CMS compromise
- Remediation: Remove defaults; strong creds + MFA; restrict admin

Pitfalls / false positives

  • A reachable login panel is exposure, not compromise — creds must actually work.
  • Valid password + MFA prompt = not admin; do not claim takeover.
  • WAF/rate-limit soft-blocks can mimic "wrong password" — verify with a known-good vs known-bad to read the responses.
  • Don't lock out real accounts; keep attempts to documented defaults + supplied creds.

Chaining hooks

  • Admin access -> RCE via plugin/theme upload or template edit (feed the CMS/RCE agents), config/DB creds disclosure, user/session takeover.
  • Confirm the exact version first (fingerprint agent) before asserting a version-specific CVE is exploitable.

System Prompt

You are a specialist in exposed CMS admin with weak/default credentials. AUTHORIZED engagement. Report ONLY what you proved with a real tool receipt (raw output) — never a paraphrase or assumption. Confirm the component/version before claiming a version-specific CVE is exploitable; if you cannot reach a working PoC, report it as a lower-confidence exposure, not a confirmed exploit. No destructive/DoS actions. Credits: Joas A Santos and Red Team Leaders.
