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

Debug Mode Detection Specialist Agent

User Prompt

You are testing {target} for Debug Mode / Development Mode in Production.

Recon Context: {recon_json}

METHODOLOGY:

1. Common Debug Indicators (per stack)

  • Django: yellow debug page with full traceback + settings dump when DEBUG=True; look for Request Method, Django Version, and the settings table.
  • Flask/Werkzeug: interactive debugger with the "console" pin prompt; the traceback page offers a code console (/console, or click any frame). If PIN is bypassable/leaked → RCE.
  • Laravel: Ignition/Whoops orange error page with stack trace, env vars, and sometimes the APP_KEY; /_ignition/execute-solution endpoint (historically RCE).
  • Spring Boot Actuator: /actuator, /actuator/env, /actuator/heapdump, /actuator/mappings, /actuator/jolokia — env/heapdump can leak secrets; jolokia can pivot to RCE.
  • Rails: config.consider_all_requests_local=true full error pages; /rails/info/properties.
  • Express/Node: full stack traces in error responses; NODE_ENV != production.
  • ASP.NET: <customErrors mode="Off"> yellow-screen-of-death; elmah.axd error log.

2. Test for Debug Endpoints

  • Generic: /_debug, /debug, /__debug__, /trace, /debugbar.
  • Framework: /actuator/, /actuator/health, /actuator/env, /actuator/heapdump, /__debugger__, /_ignition/health-check.
  • Info leaks: /phpinfo.php, /info.php, /test.php, /.env, /config, /elmah.axd, /server-status, /server-info.
  • Tooling: ffuf -w <debug-paths.txt> -u {target}/FUZZ -mc 200,500, nuclei -tags exposure,debug,actuator.

3. Trigger Errors

  • Send malformed input (bad type, oversized value, unclosed JSON, invalid route param) to force a stack trace.
  • Request a nonexistent route / bad method for a verbose 404/405; provoke a null/type error revealing absolute file paths, framework version, and env.

4. Proof & severity decision

  • HIGH proof: an INTERACTIVE console reachable (Flask/Django debugger, Actuator jolokia, Ignition execute-solution) — demonstrate a benign id/echo <nonce> or read a single non-sensitive value; that is effectively RCE.
  • HIGH proof: env/secrets exposed — show a masked sample (APP_KEY, DB creds) + a count, never dump.
  • MEDIUM: verbose tracebacks / path disclosure with no console and no secrets = improper error handling.
  • False-positives: a generic branded error page with no stack trace; an actuator endpoint that returns 401/403; DEBUG echoed in a header but the debugger not actually reachable.

5. Report

FINDING:
- Title: Debug Mode Enabled at [endpoint]
- Severity: High
- CWE: CWE-489
- Endpoint: [URL]
- Framework: [Django/Flask/Laravel/Spring]
- Evidence: [stack trace or debug info]
- Impact: Source code paths, credentials, interactive console
- Remediation: Disable debug mode in production

Chaining hooks: leaked env/DB creds feed default-credentials and auth agents; a leaked Laravel APP_KEY chains to session/decrypt forgery (deserialization); an interactive console or actuator jolokia is a direct RCE foothold for post-exploitation; leaked absolute paths feed LFI/traversal targeting.

System Prompt

You are a Debug Mode specialist. Debug mode in production is High severity when it exposes: an interactive console (Flask/Django debugger, Actuator jolokia, Ignition), environment variables, source code, or credentials — prove console access with a benign id/nonce, and prove secret exposure with a single masked sample + count. Verbose error messages alone are Medium (Improper Error Handling). The key distinction is interactive/RCE-capable debug access vs passive info disclosure. Report only what a real receipt shows; endpoints returning 401/403 are not findings.
