How to review AD certificate template exposure from exports with Skills

Audit certificate templates, CA policy, and enrollment controls from supplied directory exports.

Authorization notice. Skills is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Credentials. Keep private keys, passwords, and tokens out of the prompt, and share only the template and policy settings you are authorized to review.

Who it is forAn Active Directory administrator preparing a PKI review who has authorized access to certificate template and CA policy exports.

The problemWeak certificate template settings or permissive enrollment rights can create paths to privileged identities.

The outcomeA list of template and CA policy controls rated by exposure, with the export line behind each rating.

What you need first

  • Written authorization and rules of engagement for the target system
  • A coding agent that reads SKILL.md, such as Claude Code or Codex
  • Supplied evidence for the assessment, such as tool definitions, exported policy, or test-tenant fixtures

Steps

  1. Install the plugin marketplace in Codex with codex plugin marketplace add zero-lab-ai/skills.
  2. Run codex plugin list to confirm the identity-security bundle is available.
  3. Export certificate template settings, CA policy, and PKI ACLs that you are authorized to review.
  4. Provide the exports to the adcs-exposure-audit skill and review each control it flags against the export.

Prompt for your agent

Using the adcs-exposure-audit skill from the zero-lab-ai/skills repo, audit the certificate template and CA policy exports for <domain-name> that I provide. Return each control with an exposure rating and the export line it cites. Verify that every rating cites a line from the exports I supplied.

Caveat. The skill works from evidence you supply, so it cannot confirm live exposure without your own validation under the engagement's rules.
