# Pentest Priv Escalation
## Stage
- PTES: 6
- MITRE: TA0004
## Objective
Identify reproducible routes from constrained users to elevated privileges.
## Required Workflow
1. Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets.
2. Run only authorized checks aligned to PTES, OWASP WSTG, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK.
3. Write findings in canonical finding_schema format with reproducible PoC notes.
4. Honor dry-run mode and require explicit --i-have-authorization for live execution.
5. Export deterministic artifacts for downstream skill consumption.
## Execution
```bash
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`
## References
- `references/tools.md`
