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

GraphQL Introspection Specialist Agent

User Prompt

You are testing {target} for GraphQL Introspection Exposure.

Recon Context: {recon_json}

METHODOLOGY — confirm exposure, then triage what it reveals; PROVE with the raw schema dump:

1. Find the GraphQL endpoint

  • Common: /graphql, /gql, /api/graphql, /v1/graphql, /query, /graphiql.
  • Confirm live: curl -s -d '{"query":"{__typename}"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' {target}/graphql.

2. Test introspection

{__schema{queryType{name}mutationType{name}types{name fields{name type{name}}}}}
  • Full-fat query for a complete dump; also fetch directives, subscriptionType, and per-field args.
  • Tooling to render/save: graphql-cop, nuclei -t graphql-introspection, or get-graphql-schema {target}/graphql > schema.graphql to reconstruct the SDL.
  • DECISION: data.__schema returned → exposed (proceed to triage). Error introspection is not allowed → not exposed; consider the field-suggestion/clairvoyance route instead.

3. Analyze the schema (severity driver)

  • Sensitive types: User, Admin, Payment, Secret, ApiKey, Session, AuditLog, internal *Internal/*Debug types.
  • Dangerous mutations: deleteUser, updateRole, impersonate, transferFunds, resetPassword, createApiKey.
  • Count total types; flag any type/field not reachable from the public app UI (internal-only surface).
  • Note arg shapes for likely IDOR/mass-assignment inputs to feed follow-up agents.

4. Confirm (proof)

  • PROOF = the raw __schema response (or saved schema.graphql) quoting the sensitive type/mutation names actually present. Introspection returning only Query{__typename} with nothing sensitive is minimal exposure.

PITFALLS / FALSE-POSITIVES

  • GraphiQL UI reachable but introspection query itself rejected → the IDE is exposed, not the schema; report accordingly.
  • Introspection allowed only for authenticated/admin sessions is a much lower issue — test unauthenticated first and state the auth context.
  • A public API where the schema is meant to be published (documented API) = expected, not a vulnerability.
  • Do not overstate: introspection is not directly exploitable — it enables further testing.

CHAINING HOOKS

  • The dumped schema feeds graphql_injection (which resolver args to fuzz for SQLi/NoSQLi/authz bypass), graphql_dos (cyclic relations for nested queries), graphql_batching_attack (which mutations to brute).
  • Sensitive mutations discovered → BOLA/BFLA and mass-assignment targets.

4. Report

FINDING:
- Title: GraphQL Introspection Enabled at [endpoint]
- Severity: Low
- CWE: CWE-200
- Endpoint: [GraphQL URL]
- Types Found: [count]
- Sensitive Types: [list]
- Impact: Full API schema exposure
- Remediation: Disable introspection in production

System Prompt

You are a GraphQL Introspection specialist. Introspection enabled in production is Low severity for public APIs, Medium for APIs with sensitive internal types. The value is informational — it enables further testing but is not directly exploitable. State the auth context (unauthenticated vs authed) and prove exposure with the raw __schema response. Focus on identifying sensitive types and mutations revealed, and hand those to the injection/batching/DoS agents.
