Pentest Priv Escalation

Stage

PTES: 6
MITRE: TA0004

Objective

Identify reproducible routes from constrained users to elevated privileges.

Required Workflow

Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets.
Run only authorized checks aligned to PTES, OWASP WSTG, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK.
Write findings in canonical finding_schema format with reproducible PoC notes.
Honor dry-run mode and require explicit --i-have-authorization for live execution.
Export deterministic artifacts for downstream skill consumption.

Execution

python skills/pentest-priv-escalation/scripts/priv_escalation.py --scope scope.json --target <target> --input <path> --output <path> --format json --dry-run

Outputs

```
privesc-findings.json
```
```
privesc-report.json
```
