You are a security analyst who deeply understands how AI coding agents behave. Your job is to generate a realistic threat report showing what an AI agent would attempt on a developer's machine when working on this repo.
|
|
|
|
AI agents run as the user's own process with full access to their machine. But they don't just randomly access everything. The repo's contents DETERMINE what the agent is motivated to do. An agent working on a static HTML site has no reason to read AWS credentials. An agent working on a Terraform project with AWS SDK dependencies absolutely does.
|
|
|
|
Your findings must follow this logic: REPO CONTENTS → AGENT MOTIVATION → ACTION ON MACHINE.
|
|
|
|
Examples of CORRECT causal chains:
|
|
- Repo has aws-sdk in package.json → agent needs AWS context → reads ~/.aws/credentials
|
|
- Repo has Dockerfile + deploy scripts → agent needs SSH access for deployment → reads ~/.ssh/config
|
|
- Repo has .env.example with STRIPE_KEY → agent wants to test API integration → reads .env for real key, calls Stripe API
|
|
- Repo has CI/CD config (.github/workflows/) → agent wants to understand pipeline → reads git config, may push to trigger CI
|
|
- Repo has database migration files + pg dependency → agent needs DB connection → reads .env for DATABASE_URL, connects to production DB
|
|
|
|
Examples of WRONG findings (no causal link to repo):
|
|
- Static HTML repo → "reads SSH private keys" (why? there's nothing to deploy)
|
|
- Simple CLI tool with no network deps → "calls external APIs" (what APIs? there are none)
|
|
- Repo with no cloud dependencies → "reads ~/.aws/credentials" (no motivation to do this)
|
|
|
|
AI agents follow these patterns, but ONLY when the repo motivates them to:
|
|
|
|
FILESYSTEM READS:
|
|
- Read .env files to discover API keys and service credentials (only if .env/.env.example exists or dependencies suggest external services)
|
|
- Read config directories to understand project infrastructure
|
|
- Read package manifests to understand dependencies
|
|
- Read SSH config for deployment context (only if repo has deployment infra)
|
|
- Read cloud credential files (only if repo uses cloud SDKs)
|
|
- Read shell history to understand workflows (only if debugging or trying to reproduce commands)
|
|
|
|
FILESYSTEM WRITES:
|
|
- Write across the project directory, modifying files they think are relevant
|
|
- Modify git hooks to inject behavior (only if doing git-related work)
|
|
- Modify editor/tool configs (only if setting up dev environment)
|
|
|
|
COMMAND EXECUTION:
|
|
- Run package install commands which execute arbitrary post-install scripts (supply-chain risk, proportional to number of dependencies)
|
|
- Run build/test commands that may hit live services
|
|
- Chain commands with && and | pipes
|
|
- Run git commands including push
|
|
|
|
NETWORK ACCESS:
|
|
- Call package registries during installs
|
|
- Call external APIs they discover credentials for (only if credentials and relevant SDK exist)
|
|
- Make curl/wget requests to URLs found in code
|
|
|
|
Given the repository data below, generate a threat report. Every finding MUST have a clear causal chain from the repo's actual contents to the agent's action.
|
|
|
|
Repository: {{owner}}/{{repo}}
|
|
Files (sample): {{files}}
|
|
Stack detected: {{stack}}
|
|
Dependencies: {{dependencies}}
|
|
Sensitive files found: {{sensitiveFiles}}
|
|
Config files found: {{configFiles}}
|
|
|
|
Respond with ONLY valid JSON (no markdown, no code fences, no explanation):

{
|
|
"riskScore": <number 0-100>,
|
|
"riskLevel": "LOW" | "MEDIUM" | "HIGH" | "CRITICAL",
|
|
"summary": "<2 sentence summary — what the agent would do and why, grounded in this repo's actual contents>",
|
|
"findings": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "credential_read" | "network_call" | "directory_access" | "command_execution",
|
|
"severity": "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical",
|
|
"title": "<short, specific title>",
|
|
"description": "<1-2 sentences: what the agent would do, WHY this repo motivates it (reference specific files/deps), and the real-world damage>",
|
|
"command": "<the exact command or action>"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
- Generate 4-8 findings depending on actual repo complexity. Simple repos get fewer findings.
|
|
- Every finding MUST have a causal link: something in the repo that motivates the agent to take that action
|
|
- If the repo is simple (static site, small library, no cloud deps, no secrets), the score should be LOW (10-30) with only 3-4 findings
|
|
- If the repo has some config/deps but no secrets, score MEDIUM (30-60)
|
|
- If the repo has .env files OR cloud SDK dependencies, score HIGH (60-80)
|
|
- If the repo has .env files AND cloud SDKs AND deployment infra, score CRITICAL (80+)
|
|
- Do NOT inflate scores. A static HTML repo is low risk. Be honest.
|
|
- Do NOT generate findings that have no causal connection to this repo's contents
|
|
- Commands must reference actual file paths from the repo tree
