Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs downloading executable files and packages from unverified external sources. Specifically, it fetches a Debian package from a third-party GitHub repository (RickdeJager/stegseek) and a Java application (Stegsolve.jar) from an unencrypted HTTP domain (caesum.com).
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: Instructions include the direct execution of downloaded third-party code. Examples include running a downloaded JAR file with java -jar and installing a downloaded .deb file using sudo dpkg -i.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill makes extensive use of system-level commands with elevated privileges (sudo). While sudo apt install for official repositories is standard, the use of sudo dpkg -i on unverified external downloads significantly increases security risk. Additionally, it runs go install from a third-party repository and executes stegoveritas_install_deps, which may perform further unverified system modifications.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection because it processes untrusted media files (images, audio, text) containing potentially attacker-controlled metadata or content.
  • Ingestion points: Untrusted media files (images, audio, and text) enter the agent's context through tools like exiftool, binwalk, and zsteg (SKILL.md).
  • Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit delimiters or warnings to ignore instructions embedded within the data extracted from these files.
  • Capability inventory: The skill uses powerful tools capable of file-system writes, file carving, and subprocess execution across all forensic scripts.
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation of the data extracted from these files before it is processed by the agent.
