python-exploitation SKILL.md skillA

python-exploitation from lu1sdv/skillsmd is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/python-exploitation@git:20260608.bf3685c

Pins git:20260608.bf3685c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when escaping a Python sandbox or pyjail, bypassing import/builtins/attribute or character/byte blacklists, recovering builtins after __builtins__ is stripped, exploiting pickle/marshal/PyYAML/multiprocessing deserialization, Python-template SSTI (Jinja2/RestrictedPython/str.format), bypassing PEP 578 audit hooks, crafting or abusing CPython bytecode and code objects, exfiltrating with no stdout, or reversing .pyc files. CTF / security-research focused; covers CPython 3.8–3.13.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Python Exploitation & Sandbox Escape

## Overview

Offensive Python: breaking out of `eval`/`exec` jails, restricted unpicklers, template sandboxes, and audit-hook cages. Core principle — **a sandbox only removes *names*, never *reachability*.** Almost every escape is: find any live object → walk its attribute/frame graph back to a callable or `__globals__` that still holds the real `__builtins__` → import `os`.

The single most common mistake (yours and other models'): **hardcoding subclass indices like `[104]`.** They drift across version and import order. Always filter by `__name__` / predicate.

## When to Use

- An app runs attacker-influenced code through `eval`, `exec`, `compile`, an AST allowlist, `RestrictedPython`, or a custom pyjail
- You face an import / builtins / attribute / dunder / character / byte / length blacklist
- A deserialization sink: `pickle`, `marshal`, `PyYAML`, `multiprocessing`, `numpy.load`, `fickling`
- Template SSTI in Jinja2 / Mako / `str.format`
- An audit hook (PEP 578) or bytecode-opcode verifier guards the runtime
- Reversing or weaponizing `.pyc` / raw bytecode

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/python-exploitation@sha256:3cad6a060ec9af34

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.bf3685c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
