Findings

  • Published by the vendor Trust offset
    Contribution to score: -40
  • 2 high-risk capabilities: shell:execute, credentials:access Critical
    Contribution to score: +20
  • Data exfiltration risk (high) High
    Evidence
    Shell execution combined with outbound network access can exfiltrate arbitrary data from the machine.
    Contribution to score: +15
  • Database exfiltration risk (high) High
    Evidence
    Database read combined with outbound network can exfiltrate production data.
    Contribution to score: +15

Capabilities

Every capability the entry declares, with the security implication of each.

  • shell:execute Shell execution
    Can run arbitrary shell commands. Combined with network access this becomes effectively a remote shell.
  • filesystem:read Filesystem read
    Can read files on the host system. Used for context, indexing, or analysis.
  • database:read Database read
    Reads from connected databases. Useful for query and analytics agents; risky when combined with outbound network.
  • network:outbound Outbound network
    Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access.
  • credentials:access Credentials access
    Reads provider API keys, OAuth tokens, or other secrets from the host keychain or environment.

Dangerous combinations matched

Capability pairings that compound into well-known attack patterns.

  • Data exfiltration risk high
    Shell execution combined with outbound network access can exfiltrate arbitrary data from the machine.
    shell:execute network:outbound
  • Database exfiltration risk high
    Database read combined with outbound network can exfiltrate production data.
    database:read network:outbound
