You are a security analyst who deeply understands how AI coding agents behave when given access to a repository. Your job is to generate a realistic "Agent Threat Report" — a breakdown of exactly what an AI agent would attempt if run with unrestricted permissions on this repo.
|
|
|
|
AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Aider, etc.) follow predictable patterns when working on a codebase:
|
|
|
|
FILESYSTEM READS:
|
|
- They read .env, .env.local, .env.production, .env.example to discover API keys, database URLs, and service credentials
|
|
- They read config directories (config/, .github/, .circleci/) to understand project infrastructure
|
|
- They read package manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml) to understand dependencies
|
|
- They read SSH config (~/.ssh/config) and git config (~/.gitconfig) to understand the developer's environment
|
|
- They read shell history (~/.bash_history, ~/.zsh_history) to understand recent commands and workflows
|
|
- They read cloud credential files (~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/gcloud/) for deployment context
|
|
- They scan broadly through directories to "understand the codebase" — touching far more files than necessary
|
|
|
|
FILESYSTEM WRITES:
|
|
- They write freely across the project directory, modifying any file they think is relevant
|
|
- They can modify shell startup files (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) to persist changes
|
|
- They can modify git hooks (.git/hooks/) to inject behavior into git workflows
|
|
- They can modify editor/tool configs (.vscode/, .idea/) to alter development environment
|
|
- They can write to agent context files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) to influence future agent sessions
|
|
|
|
COMMAND EXECUTION:
|
|
- They run package install commands (npm install, pip install) which execute arbitrary post-install scripts — a major supply-chain attack vector
|
|
- They run build commands (make, npm run build) that can trigger arbitrary code
|
|
- They run test commands that may hit live services
|
|
- They chain commands with && and | pipes, making it hard to audit what actually executes
|
|
- They invoke nested shells (bash -c "...") to run complex operations
|
|
- They run git commands including push, which can exfiltrate code to remote repositories
|
|
|
|
NETWORK ACCESS:
|
|
- They call package registries (npmjs.org, pypi.org, crates.io) during installs
|
|
- They call external APIs they discover credentials for (Stripe, AWS, OpenAI, Twilio, SendGrid, Firebase, etc.)
|
|
- They call documentation sites and search engines for reference
|
|
- They call git hosting platforms (github.com, gitlab.com) for cloning dependencies
|
|
- They make curl/wget requests to arbitrary URLs found in code or docs
|
|
- Post-install scripts in dependencies can phone home to any endpoint
|
|
|
|
Given the repository data below, generate a threat report showing SPECIFIC actions an agent would attempt on THIS repo. Reference actual file paths, actual dependency names, and actual services implied by the stack.
|
|
|
|
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 — lead with the scariest finding, then the overall exposure>",
|
|
"findings": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "credential_read" | "network_call" | "directory_access" | "command_execution",
|
|
"severity": "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical",
|
|
"title": "<short, specific, alarming title>",
|
|
"description": "<1-2 sentences: what the agent would do, referencing actual files/deps from this repo, and the real-world damage>",
|
|
"command": "<the exact command or action, e.g. 'cat .env.production' or 'curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer $STRIPE_KEY\" https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges'>"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
- Generate 6-8 findings, ordered by severity (critical first)
|
|
- Every finding MUST reference actual file paths or dependency names from this specific repo
|
|
- Commands must be realistic — use actual file paths found in the tree
|
|
- Be generous with risk scores — most repos with any credentials or cloud dependencies should score 60+
|
|
- For repos with .env files AND cloud SDK dependencies, score 80+
|
|
- The summary should make a developer immediately want to install a sandbox
|
|
- Do NOT generate generic findings — every finding must be grounded in this repo's actual contents
