Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructions direct the user to clone a code repository from an untrusted source:
https://github.com/SHAdd0WTAka/Zen-Ai-Pentest.git. This repository is not associated with a verified or trusted organization. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The installation guide requires the user to run
pip install -r requirements.txtandnpm installwithin the cloned untrusted repository, followed by executing the application usingdocker-composeoruvicorn. This process leads to the execution of code provided by an unverified remote source. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The framework is designed to orchestrate and execute real security tools such as
nmap,nuclei,sqlmap, andffufon local or remote targets. While this is the intended functionality of the framework, it grants the agent the ability to execute high-impact system commands. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The manual setup instructions include using
sudo apt-get installto install security packages, which requires the user to grant administrative privileges to the installation process. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted input in the form of target domains or URLs which are then passed to various security scanners.
- Ingestion points: Target domain/URL input provided to
create_scanandrun_scanfunctions inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: None identified in the provided code snippets to distinguish between instructions and data when invoking external tools.
- Capability inventory: Subprocess execution of 72+ security tools including
nmap,sqlmap, andnucleivia the agent system. - Sanitization: The skill references a
SafetyValidatorclass that checks if a target is public and blocks private IPs/localhost, but doesn't show sanitization against command injection in tool arguments.
