Hunting skill for xxe vulnerabilities. Built from 10 public bug bounty reports including SVG-upload XXE, Office-doc (PPTX/DOCX) XXE, SOAP XXE, SAML AssertionConsumer XXE, blind OOB XXE via DTD callback, parameter-entity XXE, XXE-to-LFI, XXE-to-SSRF, and XXE-to-RCE chains (Adobe Commerce CosmicSting CVE-2024-34102). Use when hunting XXE on any target — emphasis on OOB-Or-It-Didn't-Happen Gate for blind cases.

Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.
This document is an explicit offensive guide describing step-by-step exploitation of XXE vulnerabilities including payloads and techniques to exfiltrate files, steal cloud credentials (IMDS), achieve SSRF and RCE, and evade defenses, and therefore facilitates deliberate malicious activity.
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
This skill explicitly instructs an operator to read local system files (e.g., /etc/passwd), set up outbound OOB listeners (including "self-hosted netcat server"), and exfiltrate sensitive data (HTTP/DNS callbacks and AWS metadata), which could cause the agent to access local files, open network listeners, or otherwise change/compromise the host environment.
