Full Analysis
  • [SAFE]: The skill represents a collection of security best practices for server administration and follows the principle of least privilege throughout its configuration templates.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses various shell commands (e.g., ss, ufw, docker) to configure, harden, and audit the VPS host. These operations are legitimate and necessary for server administration.
  • Evidence: Found in references/host-setup.md, scripts/backup.sh, and scripts/healthcheck.sh.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Fetches software and verification keys from official sources during the installation process.
  • Evidence: Downloads Docker GPG keys and configures repositories using https://download.docker.com in references/host-setup.md.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Utilizes sudo for administrative tasks, which is standard for host-level hardening. The instructions specifically guide the creation of a non-root admin user to limit direct root access.
  • Evidence: Multiple uses of sudo and adduser in references/host-setup.md.
  • [PERSISTENCE]: Sets up automated backups using cron to ensure data recovery capabilities.
  • Evidence: Configures cron to run scripts/backup.sh in SKILL.md and references/host-setup.md.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The audit and health check scripts ingest outputs from system commands (e.g., docker ps). This is used for security monitoring and regression testing and is appropriate for the skill's purpose.
  • Evidence: scripts/healthcheck.sh parses docker ps and docker inspect outputs to verify security constraints.
