# SKILL: WebSocket Security

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: This skill covers WebSocket protocol basics, cross-site WebSocket hijacking (CSWSH), practical tooling bridges, and common vulnerability classes. Apply only in **authorized** tests; treat tokens and message content as sensitive. For REST/GraphQL companion testing, cross-load **[api-sec](../api-sec/SKILL.md)** when present in the workspace.
