Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the agent to download external software from non-whitelisted sources, including
Stegsolve.jarfromcaesum.comvia HTTP and thestegseekbinary from a GitHub user repository (RickdeJager/stegseek). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill utilizes multiple package managers to install tools, including
apt,pip3,gem, andgo. It also provides commands for executing numerous forensic tools such aszsteg,steghide,binwalk,foremost, andmultimon-ngon user-provided data. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: Several sections in
SKILL.mdcontain inline Python code executed viapython3 -cto perform tasks like PNG CRC brute-forcing, WAV header analysis, and Unicode character analysis. This allows for runtime logic execution based on processed file data. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill uses
sudocommands for package installation (sudo apt install) and binary installation (sudo dpkg -i), which requires elevated permissions on the host system. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: Mandatory Evidence Chain:
- Ingestion points: The skill is designed to process external, potentially untrusted files including images (PNG, JPEG, GIF), audio (WAV), and text documents as described in
SKILL.mdandSTEGO_TOOLS_GUIDE.md. - Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or instructions to ignore embedded content within processed data are present.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses extensive capabilities including file system access, network downloads, and command execution through various forensic utilities and inline Python scripts.
- Sanitization: The instructions do not specify any sanitization or validation of the external files or their metadata before they are processed by the forensic tools.
