Pentest Finding Report
Generate a structured markdown finding report suitable for inclusion in a professional penetration test report.
Parse the user's input to determine the finding title and severity:
$finding-report "Kerberoastable Service Account with Path to DA"→ create finding with default High severity$finding-report "Open S3 Bucket" --severity critical→ create finding with specified severity$finding-report→ ask for a title
Steps
Create the output directory if it doesn't exist (
mkdir -p findings/) and create a new file atfindings/<title-slugified>.md(convert title to kebab-case)Use this template structure:
# [Title]
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Severity** | [Critical/High/Medium/Low/Info] |
| **CVSS 3.1** | [Score] ([Vector String]) |
| **CWE** | [CWE-ID: Name] |
| **Affected Asset(s)** | [hosts, URLs, or services] |
| **Status** | Open |
## Description
[2-3 sentences explaining what the vulnerability is and where it exists. Be specific about the affected component.]
## Impact
[What can an attacker achieve by exploiting this? Be concrete — data exposure, lateral movement, privilege escalation, etc.]
## Evidence
[Screenshots, command output, or proof. Use fenced code blocks for command output.]
[command or request used]
[response or output showing the vulnerability]
## Reproduction Steps
1. [Step-by-step instructions to reproduce]
2. [Be specific enough that another tester could verify]
3. [Include exact commands, URLs, parameters]
## Remediation
**Short-term**: [Immediate mitigation]
**Long-term**: [Root cause fix]

Fill in the template based on the information provided. If information is missing, insert
[TODO: ...]placeholdersFor CVSS scoring, calculate based on the described impact:
- Network-accessible + no auth + high impact = Critical (9.0+)
- Requires auth or local access + high impact = High (7.0-8.9)
- Limited impact or requires chaining = Medium (4.0-6.9)
- Minor information disclosure = Low (0.1-3.9)
Map to appropriate CWE IDs (common ones):
