Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill is designed to execute the
nmapbinary through a Python wrapper ($NMAP_MCP_SCRIPT). It constructs and runs shell commands based on user-provided parameters such astargetandportsfor various scan types (SYN, TCP, UDP, Ping). - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Several tools (
nmap_arp_discovery,nmap_syn_scan, andnmap_udp_scan) require thecap_net_rawLinux capability to function. While more granular than full root/sudo access, this involves granting the skill's environment elevated permissions to interact with raw network sockets. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes data from external, potentially untrusted network sources.
- Ingestion points: Data is ingested from network targets during host discovery and port scanning (SKILL.md).
- Boundary markers: The instructions do not define specific delimiters or warnings to prevent the agent from interpreting tool output as new instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill has the capability to execute shell commands (
nmap) and write results to logs (SKILL.md). - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitizing or escaping network-returned data (such as service banners or hostnames) before it is returned to the agent's context.
