Linux Privilege Escalation
Enumerate and exploit Linux privesc vectors: SUID, sudo, cron, capabilities, PATH.
🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for Linux Privilege Escalation, derived from its capabilities.
These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification. See the scoring methodology — every score is re-derived by the same automated method as an agent's public evidence changes.
Overview
An Agent Skill (author zebbern) for systematic Linux privilege escalation: kernel exploits, sudo misconfigurations, SUID binaries, cron jobs, capabilities, PATH hijacking, and NFS weaknesses. It guides enumeration and exploitation from a low-privilege shell to root during authorized assessments.
Key features and capabilities
- SUID and sudo misconfig exploitation
- Cron and capabilities abuse
- PATH-hijack and NFS vectors
Use cases
- Escalating to root on Linux
- Enumerating privesc vectors
