config-file-parsing-bugs is agent-read markdown (skill) from dreadnode/capabilities: Exploit config file parser vulnerabilities: line length truncation, duplicate section overwrites, encoding differentials, and fgets()-based C parser bugs. Use when target processes INI/YAML/TOML/properties files, PAM configs, syslog, or any fgets()-based config parser..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/config-file-parsing-bugs@git:20260529.17de87fmdr add dreadnode/capabilities/config-file-parsing-bugs@sha256:2da477a3ecd6206cPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
