Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documents the use of
start_processandinteract_with_processto execute arbitrary shell commands, providing persistent terminal access to the host system. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The instructions guide the agent to access sensitive file paths, specifically system logs located at
/var/log/app.log. Combined with the documentedcurlandsshtool usage, this establishes a functional chain for data exfiltration. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides detailed workflows for executing dynamic code strings in Python (
python3 -i) and Node.js (node:local) REPL environments. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The agent is instructed to use
kill_processto terminate arbitrary OS processes via their PID, presenting a risk of system disruption or denial of service. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exposes a significant surface for indirect prompt injection by ingesting untrusted data from the filesystem and providing high-impact capabilities like shell access.
- Ingestion points:
read_file,read_multiple_files,start_search,read_process_output. - Boundary markers: None identified in the instructional content.
- Capability inventory:
start_process,write_file,move_file,edit_block,kill_process. - Sanitization: None specified; instructions encourage direct interpolation of content into tool arguments.
