Full Analysis
  • REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION (CRITICAL): The automated scan detected instances of piped remote script execution (curl | sh). This pattern executes arbitrary code from external servers without any verification or integrity checks.
  • Evidence: curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | sh
  • Evidence: curl -sL https://run.linkerd.io/install-edge | sh
  • EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS (HIGH): The skill references external binaries and installation scripts from istio.io and linkerd.io. These domains are not within the trusted external source whitelist, introducing supply chain risk.
  • COMMAND_EXECUTION (HIGH): The skill is designed to manage Kubernetes infrastructure using privileged commands (kubectl apply) and shell scripts. In combination with the detected RCE patterns, this provides a direct path to complete cluster compromise.
Recommendations
  • CRITICAL: Downloads and executes remote code from untrusted source(s): https://run.linkerd.io/install-edge, https://istio.io/downloadIstio - DO NOT USE
  • AI detected serious security threats
