Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill includes a wide array of shell commands for security assessment tasks, such as port scanning (nmap), web vulnerability scanning (nikto, gobuster), and automated exploitation (msfconsole, sqlmap, hydra). It specifically details methods for maintaining access via cron jobs and SSH keys, and performing privilege escalation on target systems.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The instructions cover techniques for gathering sensitive information, including email harvesting and searching for exposed credentials and configuration files (.env, .config) via specialized search engine queries.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an indirect prompt injection vulnerability surface by facilitating the interpolation of untrusted user-provided target data into shell commands.
  • Ingestion points: User-supplied target strings (e.g., domain names, IP addresses) are passed as arguments to CLI tools across the methodology.
  • Boundary markers: None are defined to separate untrusted inputs or instructions from the intended command parameters.
  • Capability inventory: Extensive shell command execution capabilities involving network discovery and exploitation tools.
  • Sanitization: No evidence of input validation or escaping is provided for the user-supplied target arguments.
