Full Analysis
- [OBFUSCATION]: The skill utilizes
powershell -EncodedCommandto execute Base64-encoded script blocks. While the skill notes this is to resolve shell quoting issues, this technique effectively hides the command logic from plain-text static analysis. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill creates scheduled tasks that run with
SYSTEMuser privileges (/ru SYSTEM), enabling administrative actions and access to protected system certificate stores. - [PERSISTENCE]: The skill establishes persistence within the sandbox by creating a Windows Scheduled Task (
schtasks) configured to trigger automatically on system startup (/sc onstart). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes arbitrary commands on the target sandbox using
daytona exec, which runs asnt authority\systemin session 0. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill dynamically generates a Windows command batch file (
C:\ow\start-openwork-tls-repro.cmd) at runtime and subsequently schedules it for execution. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches application builds and PowerShell scripts from the vendor's GitHub repositories (
github.com/different-ai/openwork). - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill downloads PowerShell scripts and ZIP archives containing application builds from remote sources and executes them directly on the target system.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents an attack surface for indirect prompt injection by downloading and executing content from external GitHub releases and raw source files.
- Ingestion points: ZIP archives and scripts downloaded into
C:\ow\from GitHub releases. - Boundary markers: None identified.
- Capability inventory: File system writes, SYSTEM-level command execution, network downloads, and scheduled task creation.
- Sanitization: No validation or sanitization is performed on the downloaded executable content before execution.
