Full Analysis
- Remote Code Execution (CRITICAL): The Flux CD setup instructions use
curl -s https://fluxcd.io/install.sh | sudo bash. This pattern is highly dangerous as it executes unverified remote scripts with root privileges. - External Downloads (HIGH): The ArgoCD installation uses
kubectl apply -fon a remote manifest fromraw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj. Since the 'argoproj' organization is not in the Trusted External Sources list, this is considered an untrusted remote execution of infrastructure code. - Privilege Escalation (HIGH): The skill explicitly uses
sudo bashfor installation tasks, acquiring maximum system permissions without verifying the source content. - Credentials Unsafe (HIGH): The skill provides commands to extract and decode the
argocd-initial-admin-secretpassword viabase64 -d, facilitating the exposure of sensitive administrative credentials to the agent's output or environment. - Indirect Prompt Injection (HIGH): The skill's primary function is to ingest data from external Git repositories (
repoURL) and deploy them to a Kubernetes cluster. This creates a high-severity attack surface where malicious manifests in a Git repository could lead to cluster-wide compromise. - Ingestion points: Git repository URLs specified in ArgoCD and Flux manifests.
- Boundary markers: None present; the agent is instructed to treat Git repository content as the 'desired state'.
- Capability inventory:
kubectl apply,flux bootstrap, andargocd app sync(write/execute capabilities on the cluster). - Sanitization: No sanitization or validation of the Git-based manifests is mentioned.
