Risk Level: SAFECOMMAND_EXECUTIONINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill includes a 'Remote Execution' helper that uses the
salt cmd.runcommand, enabling the agent to execute arbitrary shell commands on any Salt minion. This is a powerful administrative capability that allows for high-impact changes across the infrastructure. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes potentially untrusted data from remote minions, such as grain data, pillar data, and command execution results, which could contain malicious instructions designed to influence the agent's logic.
- Ingestion points: Output from
saltminion commands, grain inspection, pillar retrieval, andsalt-apiresponses. - Boundary markers: Not present. The skill does not implement delimiters or safety instructions to distinguish between retrieved data and its own administrative logic.
- Capability inventory: Arbitrary command execution on minions (
salt cmd.run), state application (state.apply), and access to configuration files (cat /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf). - Sanitization: While the skill uses
jqto parse structured JSON output, it does not sanitize or escape the content within those fields to prevent instruction injection.
