Enter with artifacts, leave with evidence.

Use when
  • delayed callback
  • scheduled job
  • export
  • moderation
  • notification
Prerequisites
  • controlled object
  • known trigger action
  • private listener if callbacks are used
MCP retrieval

Agents can search this workflow, retrieve the complete graph, or request one stage through the read-only Vulns.co MCP connector.

01

Draw the asynchronous dataflow

Map source, storage, transform, queue, worker, sink, retry, and cleanup.

Inputs
  • observed create and recall actions
Outputs
  • dataflow diagram
Evidence gate
Each stage has a timestamp and controlled object reference.
Negative control
Immediate front-end behavior is separated from worker behavior.
Stop condition
Do not trigger shared production jobs without permission.
02

Assign stage canaries

Use unique inert markers for each field and transform hypothesis.

Inputs
  • controlled fields
Outputs
  • transformation ledger
Evidence gate
Returned markers identify which path and transform occurred.
Negative control
One marker is stored but never recalled.
Stop condition
Do not use active payloads before the sink context is known.
03

Apply one sink discriminator

Choose callback, harmless markup, parser error, or other bounded signal appropriate to the observed sink.

Inputs
  • supported sink hypothesis
Outputs
  • raw sink evidence
Evidence gate
The signal is unique to one stage and cannot come from the initial request.
Negative control
Encoded or delimiter-free variant remains quiet.
Stop condition
No output exfiltration or uncontrolled viewer effects.
04

Model retries and report

Group repeated events by job attempt and state each proven edge separately.

Inputs
  • event ledger
Outputs
  • retry model
  • bounded chain report
Evidence gate
Repeated callbacks are not counted as separate victims or sinks without evidence.
Negative control
Ambient and unsubmitted tokens remain quiet.
Stop condition
Clean up the controlled object and stop further retries where possible.

Continue with the right depth.
