Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill provides automated scripts and manual instructions to target and read highly sensitive system files.
- Evidence:
- Accesses system configuration and credential files:
/etc/shadow,/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa,/var/www/html/.env, andC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts(found inSKILL.mdandscripts/agent.py). - Targets process environment data via
/proc/self/environ, which often contains API keys and credentials. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documents and automates techniques to escalate file inclusion vulnerabilities to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on target systems.
- Evidence:
- Instructions for log poisoning using PHP system commands (e.g.,
<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>) inSKILL.md. - Automation of PHP wrapper exploitation using
php://input,expect://id, anddata://protocols inscripts/agent.py. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references and relies on several third-party security tools and wordlists.
- Evidence:
- Instructions to install
dotdotpwnusingapt install. - References to
ffuf,Burp Suite Professional, andSecListswordlists from external GitHub repositories. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The script processes external data from untrusted network sources which could lead to indirect prompt injection if the target server returns malicious content that is subsequently processed by the agent.
- Evidence:
- Ingestion points:
resp.textfromrequests.get()calls inscripts/agent.pyis read directly and substrings are included in generated reports. - Boundary markers: None identified; response content is processed without encapsulation or warnings to the LLM.
- Capability inventory: The script performs network requests (
requests.Session().get) and generates technical reports. - Sanitization: No sanitization or filtering is applied to the response body before searching for indicators or including it in the report logic.
