Risk Level: MEDIUMCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
  • Privilege Escalation (HIGH): The setup-fail2ban.sh script requires root/sudo privileges to run and modifies system configuration files in /etc/fail2ban/. As this is the primary purpose of the skill (system configuration), the severity is adjusted to MEDIUM.
  • Persistence Mechanisms (HIGH): The script uses systemctl enable to ensure the Fail2ban service persists after reboots. This is an intended security feature for this skill, so the severity is adjusted to MEDIUM.
  • Unverifiable Dependencies & Remote Code Execution (MEDIUM): The script installs packages via apt and yum. While this involves external downloads, it targets official system repositories, which qualifies for a downgrade to LOW/INFO under the trusted source rule.
