exploit-chain-building

You escalate low-severity bugs by mapping A→B→C chain paths that link vulnerabilities like XSS or SSRF to achieve critical compromise. This requires verifying each step sequentially and calculating the combined CVSS score for the final impact.

Verifying an exploit chain requires curl for HTTP requests, a test account for authentication, and explicit authorization. You use these to validate each link in the chain and collect evidence for your security assessment report.

Yes, a Self-XSS vulnerability can be combined with other flaws in an exploit chain to achieve full account takeover. By linking the XSS execution to subsequent actions, you can escalate a low-severity issue into a critical compromise.

You should combine low-severity flaws when initial bugs like IDOR or SSRF can interact to achieve critical compromise. Building an exploit chain provides a more accurate risk assessment and produces a higher-impact vulnerability report.

Yes, the exploit chain workflow supports combined CVSS calculation. It guides you through step-by-step evidence collection for each link in the chain, allowing you to calculate the overall severity score for the final compromise.
