Example session with this skill installed
I have written permission to test dev.example.com. I found a reflected XSS on the search parameter. Help me document this finding for the final report.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the web app penetration
I have recorded that dev.example.com is in scope and you have written authorization. I will now format the reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) finding using the standard reporting structure.
Vulnerability Finding: Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Search Component |
| Severity | Medium (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) |
| Affected Asset | https://dev.example.com/search |
| Vulnerable Parameter | q (GET) |
Description
The search functionality fails to properly sanitize or encode user-supplied input before rendering it in the HTML response. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session.
Reproduction Steps
- Navigate to the following URL:
https://dev.example.com/search?q=<script>alert(document.domain)</script> - Observe the JavaScript alert box displaying the domain name.
- Review the page source to confirm the payload is rendered unencoded within the
<div>tags.
Impact
An attacker could perform session hijacking, redirect users to malicious websites, or capture sensitive user information by injecting malicious scripts into the application.
Remediation
Implement context-aware output encoding. For HTML contexts, convert characters such as <, >, &, ", and ' into their corresponding HTML entities (e.g., <, >). Use established libraries like OWASP ESAPI or built-in framework encoding functions.
Next steps
- Test other parameters on the
/searchendpoint for similar injection flaws. - Verify if a Content Security Policy (CSP) is active and if it can be bypassed.
- Check for persistent XSS by searching for the same payload and viewing the results page from a different session.

What you get
About this skill
web-pentest turns an ad-hoc security assessment into a disciplined, OWASP-aligned engagement. It is built for penetration testers, security consultants, and red teamers who already have written authorization to assess a web target and want their work to stay organized, evidence-backed, and repeatable, the discipline layer that most improvised testing lacks.
It covers the full arc, from confirming scope and rules of engagement through to a client-ready findings report, keeping evidence captured and findings organized along the way. Each finding comes out structured for a client: title, OWASP category, severity with a CVSS vector, affected asset, reproduction steps, business impact, and remediation, so what you hand over reads like a real assessment instead of a pile of raw scanner output.
Honest about what it is: a methodology and reporting aid, not a scanner or an exploit toolkit. It guides the engagement while you run your own tools and make the calls. It enforces a scope and authorization gate and will not help against targets you have no permission to test, and it defaults to non-destructive testing unless your rules of engagement explicitly allow more. Coverage depends on the testing you actually perform.
