Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to clone a repository from an untrusted source:
https://github.com/KeygraphHQ/shannon.git. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The instructions direct the user to execute a shell script (
./shannon) downloaded from the external repository, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary malicious code in the user's environment. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to read and analyze arbitrary source code provided by the user (
REPO=/path/to/repo), which acts as an untrusted data ingestion surface. - Ingestion points: Reads the contents of the repository specified in the
REPOparameter inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: No delimiters or instructions are present to prevent the agent from following malicious prompts embedded within the analyzed source code.
- Capability inventory: The skill has significant capabilities, including running Docker containers, performing network scans with Nmap and Subfinder, and executing web exploits (SQLi, XSS, SSRF).
- Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization or filtering of the source code content before processing is provided.
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The troubleshooting section suggests escalating the current user's privileges to the
dockergroup usingsudo usermod -aG docker $USER, which grants elevated permissions over the host system.
