Individual skill
cve
Known CVE exploitation — fingerprint CMS/framework/plugin version, look up CVE candidates via cve_lookup, retrieve PoCs via cve_poc_lookup, adapt the public exploit to the target, and confirm RCE. Use whenever the challenge tag is `cve`, recon fingerprinted a versioned service, or the challenge name hints at known vulnerable software (WordPress, Joomla, Apache Struts, Spring4Shell, Log4j, etc.).

# CVE / Known-Exploit Methodology
Exploits known, version-specific vulnerabilities by fingerprinting the target's software stack, looking up the matching CVE record, retrieving a public PoC, and adapting it to the live target. The exploit agent has two dedicated tools registered for this skill — `cve_lookup` and `cve_poc_lookup` — and this skill is the only place that calls them. If you load this skill, you MUST invoke both tools.
## When to load
Load this skill (in addition to or instead of an attack-class skill) when ANY of the following hold:
1. The challenge `Tags:` line contains `cve`.
2. Recon `SUMMARY.md` fingerprinted a CMS, framework, or service with a concrete version (e.g. `WordPress 5.7.1`, `Apache Struts 2.5.16`, `Drupal 7.58`, `Spring Framework 5.3.17`, `Log4j 2.14.0`).
3. The challenge name or description hints at specific software (`WordPress`, `Joomla`, `phpMyAdmin`, `Spring4Shell`, `Log4Shell`, `Shellshock`, `ProxyShell`, `GhostCat`, etc.).
4. Recon returned a `RECON_HANDOFF:` line that names a software product with a version string.
If none of the above hold, do NOT load this skill — fall back to the attack-class skill matching the symptom (sqli/ssti/lfi/command-injection/etc.).
