Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill describes a technique for covert data exfiltration using the AWS CloudWatch RUM service, leveraging trusted AWS domains to bypass network security filters and data loss prevention systems.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Instructions include the scanning of sensitive paths such as
/.envand/config.json, and the retrieval of IAM credentials from the AWS Instance Metadata Service at169.254.169.254via SSRF patterns. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references the use of the official LocalStack Docker image for cloud simulation and mentions third-party security tools such as the Pacu framework for IAM enumeration.
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The instructions create an indirect prompt injection surface by directing the agent to ingest and parse untrusted external JavaScript bundles to extract configuration identifiers.
- Ingestion points: External web page source code and JavaScript bundles (SKILL.md).
- Boundary markers: Absent; there are no instructions to the agent to treat the retrieved content as data rather than instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent has access to
curl,aws-cli, andgrep, which can be used for network exfiltration and processing of sensitive credentials. - Sanitization: Extracted configuration strings are not validated or sanitized before being used in subsequent commands.
