Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides Python templates and examples that execute high-privilege system commands using the
subprocessmodule. Examples includesystemctl restartfor service management,find ... -deletefor file system operations, and variouskubectlcommands for container orchestration. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Chaos engineering scripts in
references/incident-chaos.mdutilizetc(traffic control) to inject network latency andiptablesto create network partitions, requiring root-level capabilities. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The
AutomatedRunbookclass inreferences/automation-toil.mdperforms unsafe command execution usingsubprocess.run(step.command, shell=True). This implementation lacks input sanitization and could allow arbitrary code execution if the runbook steps are generated from untrusted data or user input. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Automation logic is driven by data fetched from external network endpoints, such as
http://prometheus:9090inSKILL.mdandhttp://localhost:8080/healthinreferences/automation-toil.md, which could be exploited through server-side request forgery (SSRF) or data poisoning to trigger unintended system actions. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection where malicious instructions could be embedded in the data processed by the agent to influence execution of privileged commands.
- Ingestion points: Internal Prometheus API (
SKILL.md), local health endpoints (references/automation-toil.md), and potentially service logs or incident reports. - Boundary markers: None identified; there are no instructions to the agent to delimit or ignore instructions embedded in the external metric data or logs.
- Capability inventory: High-privilege access to
kubectl,systemctl,iptables, andtcvia shell execution. - Sanitization: Absence of shell argument validation or sanitization in the provided automation templates.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: http://prometheus:9090/api/v1/query?query={urllib.request.quote(query)} - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
