> PTES-aligned adversarial security audit for backend, frontend, and mobile applications. Produces a CVSS-scored Hacker Report with verified PoCs and phased remediation.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

🕵️‍♂️ Penetration Test (PTES-Aligned)

Goal: Execute a red-team assessment across backend, frontend, and mobile targets with verified PoCs and audit-grade evidence.

Steps

Scope and authorization:
Determine mode (whitebox, greybox, blackbox) and targets.
Verify explicit authorization; stop if unauthorized.

Intel and threat model:
Identify stack, endpoints, parameters, local storage, schemes, and secrets.
Use common-security-audit, common-dast-tooling, and architecture docs when available.
Map trust boundaries, secrets, external integrations, and privileged workflows before exploit attempts.

Vulnerability analysis:
Run scans and delegate: SAST/SCA to specialist-aspm-correlator, dynamic/logic to specialist-logic-hacker, binary/mobile to specialist-mobile-reverser.
Rank targets by exposure × sensitivity × auth_coverage.

Exploit verification:
No Exploit = No Report. Discard unverified findings.
Build reproducible PoCs and record preconditions, payloads, evidence, and blast radius.

Reporting:
Write artifacts/security-review.md with assumptions, source provenance, review context, runtime contract, PoCs, blast radius, finding confidence, exploit path, evidence gaps, and handoff notes.
Emit artifacts/security-review.dev.md, artifacts/security-review.appsec.md, or artifacts/security-review.exec.md only when leadership, client, or AppSec reporting is in scope.
Score from 100: Critical -25 (cap 25), High -15 (cap 40), Medium -8, Low -3.
Reuse the existing security-review.md record when pentest follows earlier design or PR security review work.
Deliver findings in the standard template below.

Executive Summary

Hacker Score: X/100 ([Critical/Vulnerable/Moderate/Hardened])
Target Scope: [repos, URLs, mobile apps]
Findings: [Critical/High/Medium/Low counts]
