Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The script scripts/agent.py uses the subprocess module to call external binaries including tshark and suricata for packet analysis and IDS alert generation.
  • Evidence includes calls in functions run_tshark, get_pcap_summary, detect_data_exfiltration, detect_ids_alerts, and extract_http_objects.
  • The implementation uses list-based arguments which mitigates shell injection risks, and the usage is consistent with the skill's primary purpose of network forensics.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and process untrusted external data in the form of PCAP files.
  • Ingestion points: The scripts/agent.py script reads PCAP files using scapy.rdpcap and tshark -r.
  • Boundary markers: None implemented for the processing of raw network traffic.
  • Capability inventory: The script has the ability to execute system commands via subprocess and write files to the local file system (e.g., in extract_http_objects).
  • Sanitization: There is no explicit sanitization of packet content before it is processed or summarized, which is typical for forensics tools but represents an attack surface where a malformed packet could target vulnerabilities in the underlying analysis tools.
