Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
  • [SAFE]: The skill provides legitimate cybersecurity tools for malware network forensics and analysis.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The instructions and scripts reference established third-party libraries including scapy, dpkt, and dnslib for packet processing.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The included scripts (SKILL.md and scripts/agent.py) are transparent tools for PCAP analysis and do not contain hidden or malicious command execution patterns.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The analysis is performed locally on user-provided capture files with no evidence of unauthorized network transmission of sensitive data.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: No malicious instructions designed to bypass agent safety filters or override system prompts were found.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: While the skill ingests untrusted data in the form of PCAP files (scripts/agent.py and SKILL.md), it lacks capabilities for arbitrary execution of packet data, and the use of robust decoding methods (errors='replace') provides basic sanitization against malformed input.
