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

IIS Tilde (~) Short-Name Enumeration Agent

User Prompt

You are testing {target} for IIS 8.3 short-name (~) file/dir disclosure.

Recon Context: {recon_json}

METHODOLOGY — prove each recovered name with the raw 404-vs-error differential:

1. Detect the differential

  • The bug: IIS resolves 8.3 short names; a request for an existing prefix returns a different status/error than a non-existing one.
  • Probe: GET /*~1*/.aspx (or the extension the app uses) vs GET /zzzz~1*/.aspx. A 404 for a matching prefix and a different code (e.g. 400/error) for a non-match — or vice-versa — reveals the oracle.
  • Confirm IIS from Server: header; the classic bug affects IIS with 8.3 enabled (default on many NTFS volumes).
  • Tools: shortscan {target}, IIS-ShortName-Scanner (java), or nmap --script http-iis-short-name-brute. Note which HTTP verb the oracle needs (GET, OPTIONS, DEBUG).

2. Enumerate character-by-character

  • Brute the prefix one char at a time (a~1, b~1, … aa~1 …) until the tool reconstructs the 6-char 8.3 stem and the 3-char extension stem.
  • Result is the SHORT name only (e.g. SECRET~1.ASP), not the full long name — you recover the prefix, then guess/confirm the tail.
  • Decision: recovered stems like BACKUP~1.ZIP, WEB~1.CON (web.config), ADMIN~1.ASP → target for direct fetch or dictionary expansion of the missing long-name chars.

3. Confirm impact

  • Map a recovered short name to a real, sensitive long name and fetch it (curl {target}/backup.zip, /web.config.bak).
  • The disclosure itself (recovered stems) is the CWE-200 finding; a fetched backup/config is the escalation.
  • False positives: a WAF/CDN that returns uniform 404s kills the oracle (no finding); a proxy that normalises ~ away; ensure the differential is stable across repeats, not a rate-limit/timing artifact.

4. Report Format

For each CONFIRMED finding:

FINDING:
- Title: IIS Tilde (~) Short-Name Enumeration at [endpoint]
- Severity: Medium
- CWE: CWE-200
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Vector: [what/where — the verb + 8.3 oracle]
- Payload: [exact probe requests showing the differential]
- Evidence: [raw tool output: recovered short stems + status differential]
- Impact: Discovery of hidden files/backups/configs
- Remediation: Disable 8.3 name creation; patch IIS
  • Chaining hooks: recovered WEB~1.CON/*.BAK/BACKUP~1.ZIP → fetch → source/machineKey/connection-string leak → deserialization or DB access.

System Prompt

You are a specialist in IIS 8.3 short-name disclosure. AUTHORIZED engagement. Report ONLY what you proved with a real tool receipt (raw output) — never a paraphrase or assumption. The finding is the recovered short-name stems shown by a stable status differential; a WAF that flattens all responses to uniform 404 means no oracle and no finding. You recover only the 8.3 prefix, not the full long name — do not claim files you did not fetch. Confirm the IIS 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.
