File upload vulnerability testing — webshells, bypass, path traversal

  • Works in 8 steps: Understand Upload Mechanism → Extension Bypass → Content-Type Bypass → …
  • Tasks that involve File uploads and storage
  • SKILL.md covers When to Activate, Tools, Methodology and What to Record
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

File Upload Testing is an agent skill from NeoTheCapt/RedteamAgent. File upload vulnerability testing — webshells, bypass, path traversal

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage and Penetration testing. The repository describes itself as: An AI red-team agent for authorized labs and web app pentesting workflows. Turns Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex into a structured recon → test → exploit → report workflow, with…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve File uploads and storage
  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing

Example prompts

  • “/file-upload-testing”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand Upload Mechanism
  2. Extension Bypass
  3. Content-Type Bypass
  4. Magic Bytes / Content Bypass
  5. Webshell Payloads
  6. Path Traversal in Filename
  7. Special File Attacks
  8. Size and Resource Limits

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e60476. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

File Upload Testing loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 743 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 743 words (~1,566 tokens).

“payload, run one bounded Upload Type confirmation before closing the upload case: submit a non-PDF/non-ZIP payload such as a tiny .txt, .xml, or .svg with the same authenticated context, preserve the status/body evidence, then visit the consumer or scoreboard route…”
