Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides numerous shell commands for cloud reconnaissance and exploitation. These include the use of
curlfor targeted dorking of S3 buckets and Firebase endpoints,aws clifor credential extraction, anddockerfor running infrastructure simulations. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill documents techniques for "covert exfil" by weaponizing AWS CloudWatch RUM telemetry. It provides specific
aws rum put-rum-eventscommands designed to embed exfiltrated data within custom telemetry payloads to bypass Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and SIEM monitoring. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: Detailed instructions are provided for harvesting AWS credentials. This includes extracting
identityPoolIdandguestRoleArnfrom JavaScript bundles to obtain STS tokens via Cognito, as well as accessing sensitive file paths like/.envand/config.jsonon exposed admin panels. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill guides the user through identifying and exploiting over-permissioned IAM roles. It specifically highlights the Cognito Identity Pool chain to escalate from unauthenticated web access to broader AWS service permissions such as
s3:*oriam:PassRole. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The documentation discusses attack vectors for achieving code execution, such as script source poisoning of self-hosted RUM snippets (
cwr.js) and supply-chain attacks targeting package registries. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill describes a vulnerability surface where malicious payloads (such as XSS) can be injected into telemetry data. These payloads are designed to execute when viewed by an analyst in a monitoring dashboard, representing a multi-step injection chain.
