Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill is designed to execute network scanning and security assessment commands. The
scripts/agent.pyfile automates the use ofnmapvia thepython-nmaplibrary, while theSKILL.mdinstructions detail the use of various tools includingMetasploit,Hydra, andImpacketfor security validation tasks.\n- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses a potential attack surface for indirect prompt injection through its ingestion of external network data.\n - Ingestion points: Raw service banners, version strings, and Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) outputs are collected from target hosts by
scripts/agent.py.\n - Boundary markers: The data is structured in a JSON report, but no explicit delimiters or instructions are provided to an AI agent to treat these specific fields as untrusted content when analyzing the results.\n
- Capability inventory: The skill provides significant network interaction and exploitation capabilities that could be misused if malicious instructions are processed from a compromised service banner.\n
- Sanitization: The script does not perform filtering or sanitization of the strings retrieved from network services before they are included in the findings report.\n- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The workflow in
SKILL.mdinstructs the user to download and utilize third-party scripts likelinpeas.shandwinPEAS.exefrom external repositories for privilege escalation during the testing process.
