Exploitability Validation Skill

A multi-stage pipeline for validating that vulnerability findings are real, reachable, and exploitable.

Purpose

Prevents wasted effort on:

• Hallucinated findings (file doesn't exist, code doesn't match)
• Unreachable code paths (dead code, test-only)
• Findings with unrealistic preconditions

When to Use

After scanning produces findings, BEFORE exploit development:

1. Scanner finds potential vulnerability
2. This skill validates it's real and reachable
3. Exploit Feasibility checks binary constraints
4. Exploit development proceeds
