Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes data from Proxmox nodes and guest environments to drive high-privilege administrative tasks, creating a surface for indirect manipulation.
- Ingestion points: Reads PVE API documentation and live schemas from node-served endpoints (
https://<node>:8006/pve-docs/api-viewer/apidoc.js) and captures guest-level output over SSH during provisioning (bakestep inreferences/golden-image.md). - Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit delimiters or warnings for the agent to ignore potentially malicious content within the ingested node or guest output.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes
ssh,curl, and package management tools (apt) which could be exploited if malicious data influences the agent's logic. - Sanitization: No sanitization or validation logic is specified for data retrieved from external nodes before its use in command interpolation.
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill provides instructions for performing host-level modifications and executing commands with elevated privileges.
- Evidence: Direct modification of system repository files in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/usingsed -ito change release suites as described inreferences/upgrade-8-to-9.md. - Evidence: Execution of host-level major upgrades using
apt dist-upgradeand thepve8to9utility. - [UNVERIFIABLE_DEPENDENCIES_AND_REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill automates the retrieval and installation of software packages and OS images from remote sources.
- Evidence: Fetches updates and packages from the official Proxmox repository (
http://download.proxmox.com) during the 8-to-9 upgrade sequence. - Evidence: Downloads Ubuntu cloud images from Canonical sources via the PVE
download-urlAPI for golden image templates. - Evidence: Recommends the use of
curl -k(or--insecure) when interacting with PVE nodes, which is a common practice for handling self-signed certificates in hypervisor environments.
