What execute_weevely_module does on Pentester-MCP
AI agents invoke execute_weevely_module to trigger actions in Pentester-MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why execute_weevely_module is rated High
This tool executes code/commands via a web shell module. Weevely modules run arbitrary PHP code on target web servers, making this an Execute category risk. Severity is critical because: (1) it can execute arbitrary commands on remote systems, (2) blast radius is unlimited depending on target permissions, (3) the server explicitly mentions Docker sandboxing for execution safety, implying high-risk operations, and…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'execute_weevely_module' combined with server description indicating execution of 'over 200 open-source penetration testing tools' with 'web exploitation' capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs execute_weevely_module safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pentester-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For execute_weevely_module, this is the rule to start with:
execute_weevely_module stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Pentester-MCP, apply this rule, and every execute_weevely_module call is checked against it from then on.
