cloud-k8s
Helps your agent find security flaws in cloud and Kubernetes environments. It checks configurations and paths that attackers could exploit.
What it does
This tool checks the security of cloud and container systems (like Kubernetes). It looks for misconfigurations that attackers could exploit.
When to use it
- ✓When assessing the security of a cloud or Kubernetes environment you have permission to test.
- ✓To review access permissions (IAM/RBAC) and see if there are paths to gain more control.
- ✓To find flaws in containers that could allow escaping to the host system.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Check the security of my Kubernetes cluster at IP address 192.168.1.100, I have written authorization.”

How it works
The tool simulates common attacks to find vulnerabilities. It first confirms your identity and authorization before performing any tests, and explains what each test will do.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:
npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill cloud-k8sOr download just the file:

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.
Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:
- Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
- Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
- Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
- Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.
Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.
Cloud / Container / Kubernetes Security
When to Use
- Assessing cloud workload or Kubernetes cluster security within an approved scope.
- Reviewing IAM/RBAC configurations for privilege-escalation paths.
适用场景
- 云元数据 SSRF(169.254.169.254 / IMDS)
- IAM 过度权限、公开存储桶、错误安全组
- Docker/containerd 逃逸路径评估
- Kubernetes RBAC、Secrets、Admission、供应链镜像
- 容器镜像漏洞(可联动
supply-chain-security/)
工作流
Phase 1 — 身份与边界
□ 当前身份:云 AK/SK、K8s SA、节点 SSH?
□ 范围:单账号 / 单 cluster / 单 namespace
□ 网络档:authorized_target_only
Phase 2 — 云控制面
# 示例(按厂商替换;MUST 在授权账号内)
aws sts get-caller-identity
aws s3 ls
# Azure / GCP 对应 identity 命令
□ 公开桶 / 错误 ACL
□ 元数据:IMDSv1 vs v2;SSRF 链
□ 角色可扮演(PassRole)与横向
Phase 3 — 容器
□ 是否 privileged / hostPath / hostNetwork
□ capabilities(SYS_ADMIN 等)
□ 可写宿主机路径 → 逃逸候选
□ 镜像历史与已知 CVE → Trivy
Phase 4 — Kubernetes
kubectl auth can-i --list
kubectl get pods,secrets,svc -A
kubectl get clusterrolebindings
□ SA token 挂载与权限
□ 危险 admission webhook 缺失
□ etcd / dashboard 暴露
□ 网络策略是否默认放行
工具链
| 工具 | 用途 | 自举 |
|---|---|---|
| kubectl | 集群交互 | 手动 |
| trivy | 镜像/IaC | bootstrap trivy 若可用 |
| kube-bench / kubeaudit | CIS/配置 | 手动 |
| pacu / scoutsuite | 云审计(授权) | 手动 |
| nuclei | 已知云漏洞模板 | bootstrap nmap/nuclei 生态 |

路由上下文
上游: MASTER R23
下游: 拿到节点 shell → attack-chain / windows-ad;镜像漏洞 → supply-chain
MUST NOT: 未授权扫公有云其他租户
任务完成自检
- 是否限定在授权账号/cluster?
- 发现是否含复现与影响?
- 是否避免破坏性操作?
- 报告 / journal?
Limitations
- Cloud provider API calls may incur cost and trigger alerts; coordinate with the owner.
- Escape-path validation must stay inside disposable lab clusters.

FAQ
Do I need permission to use this tool?
Yes, you need explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Unauthorized use is illegal.
Can this tool cause damage?
The tool is designed to be safe, but testing in production environments can incur costs or trigger alerts. It's recommended to use it in controlled test environments or labs.
What are 'SSRF', 'IAM', and 'RBAC'?
These are technical terms. SSRF is a type of attack. IAM and RBAC are systems that control who can access what in cloud and Kubernetes environments, respectively. The tool checks if these systems are configured correctly.
