Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: Indirect Prompt Injection Risk.
- Ingestion points:
SKILL.md(viaread_journal,read_log_file, andsearch_logstools). - Boundary markers: Absent.
- Capability inventory: Shell command execution via SSH (e.g.,
systemctl,journalctl,uname,ps). - Sanitization: Absent.
- Analysis: The skill reads system logs which often contain untrusted data (e.g., failed SSH login attempts or application logs). Attackers can log malicious strings that may be interpreted as instructions by the agent when these logs are processed.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Executes standard Linux diagnostic commands via shell.
- Evidence: The skill wraps various CLI utilities including
systemctl status,journalctl,ps,ss, anddffor system monitoring. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Fetches software packages from external repositories.
- Evidence: Installation instructions involve
pip install linux-mcp-serverandgit clone https://github.com/rhel-lightspeed/linux-mcp-server.git. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Accesses sensitive system information and logs.
- Evidence: The skill enables reading of
/var/log/secureand/var/log/audit/audit.log, which contain security-critical events and potentially sensitive user metadata.
