Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill contains multiple detailed procedures for bypassing User Account Control (UAC), including registry hijacking of auto-elevated binaries like
fodhelper.exe,eventvwr.exe,computerdefaults.exe, andsdclt.exe. It also includes a "Mock Trusted Directory" technique that leverages a trailing-space directory flaw to spoof system paths. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Extensive instructions for token manipulation using the "Potato" family of exploits (JuicyPotato, GodPotato, PrintSpoofer) to escalate from low-privilege service accounts to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: Provides commands to harvest credentials by dumping the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process using
procdumpand extracting theSAM,SYSTEM, andSECURITYregistry hives for offline password cracking. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Instructs on the use of
SeBackupPrivilegeto bypass standard access controls and read sensitive system files likeNTDS.dit(Active Directory database) for extraction. - [PERSISTENCE]: Includes instructions for establishing persistence through the creation of unauthorized scheduled tasks (
Register-ScheduledTask) and the modification of registry autorun keys (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Outlines methods to hijack system services by reconfiguring the
binpathof vulnerable services to execute attacker-supplied binaries. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: Details a technique using
cmstp.exeto execute a remote.sctpayload from an external URL (http://ATTACKER/sct_payload.sct) to bypass security prompts. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: Provides workflows for compiling malicious DLLs and generating malicious MSI installers using
msfvenomto facilitate privilege escalation. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents a high vulnerability surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: The skill relies on parsing output from host enumeration commands like
whoami,systeminfo, andsc queryto determine the next stage of the attack (SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: None provided; the agent is not instructed to treat system outputs as untrusted data.
- Capability inventory: The skill provides the agent with full shell execution, registry manipulation, service reconfiguration, and file system write capabilities across all included files.
- Sanitization: None; the skill does not implement validation or sanitization of the enumeration data that drives its logic.
