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/passwd via netcat.
  • Provides commands for exfiltrating database dumps using mysqldump piped 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 systemd service that executes a netcat backdoor on startup.
  • Provides crontab entries using the @reboot directive 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
  • AI detected serious security threats
