Hunting skill for xxe vulnerabilities. Built from 4 public bug bounty reports. Use when hunting xxe on any target.
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
## Crown Jewel Targets XXE is a critical-severity vulnerability that consistently pays at the top of bug bounty scales ($5,000–$30,000+) due to its direct path to sensitive data exfiltration and SSRF. Highest-value targets: - **Large enterprise platforms** with XML-heavy backend integrations (finance, logistics, ride-sharing APIs) - **Domains with file-read capability** — `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/shadow`, internal config files, AWS metadata endpoints - **Subdomains sharing backend infrastructure** — one XXE endpoint can pivot to internal services across dozens of domains (as demonstrated by 26+ Uber domains via a single entry point) - **API gateways** accepting XML content types — especially REST APIs that silently accept `Content-Type: application/xml` - **File upload features** — SVG, DOCX, XLSX, PDF, PPTX parsers on the server side - **SAML/SSO endpoints** — SAML assertions are XML-based and frequently vulnerable - **Office/document processing services** — any feature that converts or processes user-supplied documents --- ## Attack Surface Signals ### URL Patterns ``` /api/v*/xml /upload /import /parse /convert /saml/acs /sso/saml /feed /rss /sitemap /webdav /soap/* /wsdl …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/hunt-xxe@sha256:53455e42e91dcb8aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.ff4cc7c, 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.
