From 439149aec2cee1700e61d6c623e271b8b9b2e194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christine Su Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:21:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20add=20/red-team=20skill=20=E2=80=94=20a?= =?UTF-8?q?dversarial=20security=20testing?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adversarial penetration testing skill with five test suites: 1. Prompt injection (system prompt extraction, indirect injection, context overflow) 2. Auth & authorization (bypass, IDOR, rate limits, free tier abuse) 3. Input validation (SQLi, XSS, path traversal, command injection) 4. Configuration & headers (security headers, CORS, exposed endpoints) 5. Data exfiltration (API key leakage, unbounded data, error disclosure) Only tests the user's own application — never third-party services. Auto-detects app type (web+LLM, API, static) and runs applicable suites.
