Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The SKILL.md workflow (Step 4) explicitly downloads community/third-party rules (wget https://www.snort.org/downloads/community/snort3-community-rules.tar.gz) and clones rule-management tooling from GitHub (git clone https://github.com/shirkdog/pulledpork3.git), which are untrusted external rule sources that Snort will load and use to make detection/alerting decisions.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The setup commands clone and download remote code that is built or executed at runtime—e.g., git clone https://github.com/snort3/libdaq.git, https://github.com/snort3/snort3.git, https://github.com/shirkdog/pulledpork3.git and wget https://www.snort.org/downloads/community/snort3-community-rules.tar.gz followed by ./bootstrap, make/sudo make install, and python3 setup.py install—so external content is fetched and executed and is required for the skill.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt explicitly instructs using sudo to install software, edit system files, create and enable systemd service units, and change network interface settings—actions that modify system state and require elevated privileges.
