Use when the engagement scope includes supply-chain attack simulation — typosquatted package publication, dependency confusion, GitHub Actions secret mining, internal mirror poisoning, OAuth-app impersonation, or vendor portal credential abuse.

tessl review fix ./packages/decepticon/decepticon/skills/standard/supply-chain/SKILL.mdSupply-chain attacks have grown 1,300% since 2020 per Decepticon's own
ai-red-teaming.md. This catalog
gives the agent the playbooks to simulate the most common patterns —
all in a sandbox-isolated mode that publishes to a local mock registry by
default and to a real one only with supply_chain_real_publish=true in
ConOps.
Inline technique reference — not separately loadable skills. The entries below are summarized here for direct use; there is no separate
SKILL.mdto open for each. Do NOT call the skill loader on them — apply the technique with your tools using this summary and the Workflow in this file.
| Technique | Use for |
|---|---|
| typo-name-gen | Generate typosquat candidates for a target package; reachability + popularity score |
| dep-confusion-probe | Check whether an internal package name is squat-able on PyPI / NPM / RubyGems / NuGet |
| post-install-script | Author + sandboxed publish of a benign post-install probe |
| gh-actions-fork-pr | Fork-PR secret mining; pull_request_target misconfiguration scan |
| oauth-app-impersonation | Lookalike OAuth app + scope-creep social engineering |
| internal-mirror-poison | Verdaccio / Artifactory / Nexus index manipulation |
| sbom-divergence | Audit SBOM vs actual installed packages for drift |
| vendor-portal-creds | SaaS vendor admin portal credential abuse paths |
All publish-mode skills accept a --dry-run flag that:
/workspace/typo-pkg/..tar.gz, .tgz, etc.) without uploading.Real publish requires both supply_chain_real_publish=true in ConOps AND
operator HITL approval at the moment of publish. Defense in depth.
Most rewarding attack class in 2024-2026. Common misconfigurations:
pull_request_target with actions/checkout of ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
→ fork PRs run with target-repo secrets.workflow_run triggers reading inputs without sanitization.${{ github.event.pull_request.title }} interpolated into shell.GITHUB_TOKEN with write scope on contents.The gh-actions-fork-pr skill encodes the full enumeration: search the
target org's workflows, identify exploitable patterns, build a PoC fork
PR that exfiltrates secrets.* without modifying the workflow file
itself (so the operator's PR doesn't look obviously malicious to a human
reviewer).
For every simulated attack, the Detector agent produces:
npm install in CI logs,
actions/checkout@ followed by secrets.* reference patterns).Real-world publication that could harm third parties (other companies
who consume the customer's internal packages). The dep-confusion-probe
explicitly avoids this by checking name availability without uploading;
the operator decides whether to follow through.
