Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTIONMETADATA_POISONING
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes external Zeek
dns.logfiles, which ingest untrusted network data. This creates a surface where an attacker could embed malicious instructions within DNS queries to influence the agent's behavior when it interprets the analysis results. - Ingestion points: The
scripts/agent.pyscript reads and parses log files provided via the--log-fileargument. - Boundary markers: The skill lacks explicit boundary markers or instructions to the agent to treat data from the logs as untrusted or to ignore embedded instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill can read local files and write analysis reports to the filesystem (via the
--outputargument) but lacks network or system command execution capabilities. - Sanitization: No sanitization or escaping is performed on the DNS query strings extracted from the logs before they are included in the final report.
- [METADATA_POISONING]: There is a discrepancy in the author attribution between files; the
SKILL.mdfrontmatter lists 'mahipal' as the author, whereas theLICENSEfile attributes copyright to 'mukul975'. Inconsistent metadata can be used to obscure the true origin or ownership of the skill content.
