Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill includes a functional example that downloads and executes a script from an unverified external URL, which is a significant security risk if executed on a target system.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Theruncmdblock containingcurl -fsSL https://example.com/setup.sh -o /opt/setup.sh,chmod +x /opt/setup.sh, and/opt/setup.sh. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references downloading configuration and code from external sources.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Fetches package repository data fromhttps://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntuand a setup script fromhttps://example.com/setup.sh. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill provides numerous templates for creating users with full, passwordless sudo permissions and modifying root-owned system configurations.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md:sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALLfor new users, and instructions to modify/etc/ssh/sshd_config,/etc/docker/daemon.json,/etc/systemd/system/, and/etc/sysctl.conf. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill functions as a template generator for high-privilege configurations executed on remote servers, creating a surface where malicious instructions could be embedded in the generated output.
- Ingestion points: Examples and documentation within
SKILL.mdused to guide agent output. - Boundary markers: Absent; there are no specific delimiters or warnings to treat generated cloud-init content as potentially dangerous.
- Capability inventory: The skill guides the creation of configurations capable of arbitrary file writing (
write_files), network operations (curl), and shell command execution (runcmd) with root privileges. - Sanitization: Absent; the skill lacks mechanisms to sanitize or validate the content it helps generate for deployment to sensitive environments.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://example.com/setup.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
