Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Provides explicit instructions and XML payloads for reading sensitive system files including
/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow, and Windows configuration files (win.ini). - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Describes methods for exfiltrating sensitive data to external, non-whitelisted domains (e.g.,
YOUR.BURPCOLLABORATOR.net,attacker.com) using Out-of-Band (OOB) HTTP and DNS callbacks. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Targets cloud-specific sensitive data, providing payloads to access AWS instance metadata and IAM security credentials at
169.254.169.254. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Includes
curlcommand examples designed to transmit XML payloads to remote endpoints for vulnerability testing. - [OBFUSCATION]: Details techniques for bypassing security filters using hex-encoded entities (e.g.,
fileforfile) and variations in character encoding (UTF-16). - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: Mentions the use of vulnerable PHP and Java functions (e.g.,
simplexml_load_string,rt:exec) as part of XXE-to-RCE exploitation chains. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill instructs the agent to ingest and process data from untrusted external sources, creating an attack surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: XML entry points, file upload features (SVG, DOCX, XLSX), and SAML/SSO endpoints as described throughout
SKILL.md. - Boundary markers: Absent. The instructions do not provide delimiters or warnings to treat external target responses as non-instructional data.
- Capability inventory: File system read access and network connectivity via
curland XML external entity resolution. - Sanitization: Absent. No sanitization or validation protocols are defined for handling content retrieved from external targets.
