Pentest Remediation Validator
Stage
- PTES: 7 - Retest
- MITRE: N/A
Objective
Validate whether remediations are fixed, regressed, or require manual follow-up.
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
