substrate-vulnerability-scanner

Scans for known Tizen CVEs in app dependencies and kernel. Checks OpenCVE database and Samsung security updates.

Tests APIs for mass assignment (auto-binding) vulnerabilities where clients can modify object properties they should not have access to by including additional parameters in API requests. The tester identifies writable endpoints, adds undocumented fields to request bodies (role, isAdmin, price, balance), and checks if the server binds these to the data model without filtering. Part of OWASP API3:2023 Broken Object Property Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving mass assignment testing, parameter binding abuse, auto-binding vulnerability, or API over-posting.

Triage web application vulnerability findings from DAST/SAST scanners using OWASP risk rating methodology to separate true positives from false positives and prioritize remediation.

Performs authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning using Tenable Nessus to identify known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, default credentials, and missing patches across network infrastructure, servers, and applications. The scanner correlates findings with CVE databases and CVSS scores to produce prioritized remediation guidance. Activates for requests involving vulnerability scanning, Nessus assessment, patch compliance checking, or automated vulnerability detection.

Test for Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerabilities by probing cloud metadata endpoints, internal network services, and protocol handlers through user-controllable URL parameters. Tests AWS/GCP/Azure metadata APIs (169.254.169.254), internal port scanning via HTTP, URL scheme bypass techniques, and DNS rebinding detection.

Perform vulnerability scanning in OT/ICS environments safely using passive monitoring, native protocol queries, and carefully controlled active scanning with Tenable OT Security to identify vulnerabilities without disrupting industrial processes or crashing legacy controllers.

This skill covers performing vulnerability assessments in OT environments using the Claroty xDome platform for comprehensive asset discovery, risk scoring, vulnerability correlation, and remediation prioritization. It addresses passive vulnerability identification through traffic analysis, active safe querying of OT devices, integration with CVE databases and ICS-CERT advisories, and risk-based prioritization that accounts for operational impact and compensating controls.

Performs vulnerability remediation on endpoints by prioritizing CVEs based on risk scoring, deploying patches, applying configuration changes, and validating fixes. Use when remediating findings from vulnerability scans, responding to critical CVE advisories, or maintaining endpoint compliance with patch management SLAs. Activates for requests involving vulnerability remediation, CVE patching, endpoint vulnerability management, or security fix deployment.

Authenticated (credentialed) vulnerability scanning uses valid system credentials to log into target hosts and perform deep inspection of installed software, patches, configurations, and security sett

Configure and execute agentless vulnerability scanning using network protocols, cloud snapshot analysis, and API-based discovery to assess systems without installing endpoint agents.

Assess Active Directory security posture using PingCastle, BloodHound, and Purple Knight to identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and attack vectors.

Build automated alerting for vulnerability remediation SLA breaches with severity-based timelines, escalation workflows, and compliance reporting dashboards.
