Risk Level: SAFECOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The scripts/agent.py script utilizes subprocess.run() to execute openssl commands for creating and signing TLS certificates. These calls are performed without shell=True, which mitigates direct shell injection risks, although the arguments are derived from user-provided input.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the paramiko library in scripts/agent.py to connect to remote hosts and execute systemctl restart rsyslog. This is an expected administrative function but involves remote command execution.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The script is susceptible to indirect configuration injection due to a lack of input sanitization when rendering rsyslog templates.
  • Ingestion points: CLI arguments --server-ip and --clients in scripts/agent.py are used directly in Jinja2 templates.
  • Boundary markers: None used to encapsulate interpolated variables in the configuration templates.
  • Capability inventory: Local file writes, local subprocess execution (openssl), and remote SSH command execution (systemctl) within scripts/agent.py.
  • Sanitization: No validation or escaping is applied to the input strings before they are processed by the Jinja2 template engine.
