SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

RCE vulnerabilities deliver the highest payouts in bug bounty programs, but they are difficult to find consistently across diverse tech stacks, admin interfaces, and cloud infrastructure. This skill eliminates guesswork by providing field-validated hunting techniques derived from 67 real public bug bounty reports, covering every major RCE vector and attack surface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Attack Surface Mapping: Identifies all RCE-prone execution contexts including template engines, YAML/XML parsers, admin consoles, Kubernetes clusters, and dependency registries, with URL patterns, tech stack signals, and frontend code indicators to speed up reconnaissance.
  • Proven Payload & Detection Library: Includes validated payloads for 10+ RCE vectors such as template injection, unsafe deserialization, dependency confusion, and path traversal to execution, plus bypass techniques for common filters and WAF rules.
  • End-to-End Attack Chain Guidance: Breaks down 6 high-paying RCE attack chains into testable primitive steps, with real-world impact examples and cross-references to complementary hunting skills to help you combine low-severity findings into critical, triage-ready reports.
  • Use Case: A penetration tester assessing a target running GitHub Enterprise Server can use this skill to locate the management console, test syslog-ng configuration fields for template injection, chain the primitive to a root shell, and produce a critical-severity report with full reproduction steps.

Quick Start

Use the hunt-rce skill to map all RCE-prone execution contexts on the target, test validated payloads for template injection, deserialization, and dependency confusion, and chain low-severity primitives into a demonstrated critical RCE finding with out-of-band confirmation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find remote code execution vulnerabilities across different tech stacks?

To find remote code execution vulnerabilities consistently, you need field-validated hunting techniques mapped to specific execution contexts. This skill provides payload libraries and attack surface mapping for template engines, deserialization, and dependency confusion across diverse enterprise infrastructure.

What is the best way to hunt for template injection and dependency confusion bugs?

The best way to hunt for template injection and dependency confusion bugs is to use proven payloads derived from real bug bounty reports. This skill provides validated detection libraries and bypass techniques for common WAF rules to identify these specific RCE vectors.

Can I use this skill for penetration testing on cloud-native infrastructure and admin consoles?

Yes, you can use this skill for penetration testing on cloud-native infrastructure and admin consoles. It identifies RCE-prone execution contexts in Kubernetes clusters, management interfaces, and supply chain registries with specific URL patterns and tech stack signals.

How do I chain low-severity primitives into a critical RCE finding?

To chain low-severity primitives into a critical RCE finding, you break down high-paying attack chains into testable primitive steps. This skill guides you through combining these primitives with out-of-band confirmation to produce triage-ready reports.

Does this skill provide payloads for bypassing WAF rules during RCE hunting?

Yes, this skill provides payloads for bypassing WAF rules during RCE hunting. It includes a proven payload and detection library with bypass techniques for common filters, covering over ten major vectors like unsafe deserialization and path traversal to execution.

What limitations exist when testing for path traversal to execution?

When testing for path traversal to execution, limitations depend on the target's specific execution contexts and filter rules. This skill mitigates guesswork by providing field-validated payloads and cross-references to complementary hunting skills for comprehensive coverage.
