Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Instructions for establishing unauthorized interactive access channels across multiple platforms.
- Provides one-liners for reverse shells using Bash, Python, and PowerShell in SKILL.md.
- Includes configurations for bind shells on both Linux and Windows systems.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Explicit patterns for moving sensitive system data to external listener addresses.
- Demonstrates exfiltrating system files such as
/etc/passwdvia netcat. - Provides commands for exfiltrating database dumps using
mysqldumppiped directly to network connections. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: Multi-stage payload delivery and execution workflows.
- Describes a process in Pattern 2 of SKILL.md where the agent is instructed to download a script from a remote host, modify its permissions, and execute it locally.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Detailed instructions for establishing persistence mechanisms to maintain access across reboots.
- Includes a template for creating a
systemdservice that executes a netcat backdoor on startup. - Provides
crontabentries using the@rebootdirective to trigger reverse shells. - Documents the creation of Windows Scheduled Tasks (
schtasks) designed to run shells with System-level privileges. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: High vulnerability surface for indirect prompt injection through untrusted input interpolation.
- Ingestion points: Target IP addresses, ports, and file paths are ingested as parameters in SKILL.md.
- Boundary markers: Absent; no delimiters or instructions are provided to the agent to ignore embedded instructions in the metadata or data it processes.
- Capability inventory: The skill leverages subprocess execution (nc, bash, python, powershell), file system writes (systemd/cron), and broad network operations.
- Sanitization: Absent; there is no evidence of validation or escaping for parameters before they are interpolated into shell commands.
Recommendations
- CRITICAL: 1 infected file(s) detected - DO NOT USE
