Full Analysis
  • [PERSISTENCE]: The skill sets up automated execution at system startup or login.
  • Creation of a macOS LaunchAgent at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.codex.dreamskin.plist.
  • Registration of a Windows Scheduled Task using Register-ScheduledTask with Highest run level.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill requests or performs operations that bypass system security controls.
  • Instructions to modify the system-wide /etc/hosts file using sudo to block specific domains.
  • Instructions to remove the macOS quarantine extended attribute (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine) from downloaded scripts.
  • Commands to set or bypass PowerShell execution policies (Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned, -ExecutionPolicy Bypass).
  • [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill uses runtime process injection to modify application behavior.
  • Use of the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to interact with the application's underlying engine.
  • Injection of arbitrary JavaScript code into the running process via the Runtime.evaluate method.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill requires downloading content from a third-party source.
  • Use of git clone to fetch scripts and binaries from an external GitHub repository (github.com/Fei-Away/Codex-Dream-Skin.git).
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes various scripts that are not bundled with the initial skill package.
  • Execution of shell scripts (.sh), macOS command files (.command), and PowerShell scripts (.ps1) after modification of their execution permissions.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes external configuration files that influence its execution flow, creating a vulnerability surface.
  • Ingestion points: Reads config.json and custom.css from local application data directories.
  • Boundary markers: None identified; instructions in these files are processed directly for injection.
  • Capability inventory: File system writes, shell execution, network requests via curl, and JavaScript injection via CDP.
  • Sanitization: No validation or sanitization of the content of the CSS or configuration files is performed before injection.
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill downloads and executes scripts from a remote repository.
  • Pattern: https://github.com/Fei-Away/Codex-Dream-Skin.git is cloned and then its contents (installers and injection scripts) are executed.
