Risk Level: MEDIUMCOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION] (MEDIUM): The skill constructs and executes complex shell commands involving
qemu-system-x86_64,pkill, and network diagnostic tools (nc,telnet). If parameters like ports or image paths are sourced from untrusted input, it could lead to command injection. - [PROMPT_INJECTION] (MEDIUM): Implements an Indirect Prompt Injection surface. The agent is instructed to read and grep output from the VM's serial console (
telnet localhost PORT). If a malicious ISO is used, the VM output could contain instructions designed to manipulate the agent's logic. - Ingestion point: VM serial console output via
telnet(SKILL.md). - Capability inventory: Execution of
qemu-system,pkill, and shell loops (SKILL.md). - Sanitization: Minimal; uses
grepfor specific strings but does not sanitize or escape the overall data stream. - Boundary markers: None present to distinguish VM output from system instructions.
