Highest confirmed finding severity

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Most command-related findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences in a documentation-only forensic guide. Confirmed risks remain for privileged live memory acquisition, raw /dev and /proc memory access, process memory dumping, and credential extraction guidance.

Capability review items (11)
High
SKILL.md:49
sudo privilege escalation
sudo insmod lime.ko "path=/tmp/memory.lime format=lime"
The documented command uses sudo to load a kernel memory acquisition module and write a RAM image. That is privileged live-system access that can expose secrets and affect host stability.
High
SKILL.md:52
sudo privilege escalation
sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=memory.raw bs=1M
The documented command uses sudo to read /dev/mem into a raw memory image. This directly accesses sensitive physical memory and can disclose credentials or private data.
High
SKILL.md:55
sudo privilege escalation
sudo cp /proc/kcore memory.elf
The documented command uses sudo to copy /proc/kcore into an ELF memory image. That provides privileged access to kernel memory and can disclose sensitive host data.
High
SKILL.md:61
sudo privilege escalation
sudo ./osxpmem -o memory.raw
The documented macOS acquisition command runs a memory capture tool with sudo. Live privileged memory capture can expose secrets and should require explicit authorization.
High
SKILL.md:54
Linux /proc filesystem access
# /proc/kcore (ELF format)
The section introduces /proc/kcore as a memory acquisition source. Accessing that interface is privileged kernel memory access with sensitive data exposure risk.
High
SKILL.md:55
Linux /proc filesystem access
sudo cp /proc/kcore memory.elf
The command copies /proc/kcore to a memory image using sudo. This can expose kernel memory and credentials from a live system.
High
SKILL.md:51
Non-standard device file access
# /dev/mem (limited, requires permissions)
The section recommends /dev/mem as a live memory acquisition source. That device exposes raw physical memory and should be treated as high-risk.
High
SKILL.md:52
Non-standard device file access
sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=memory.raw bs=1M
The command reads directly from /dev/mem into a raw image. Direct physical memory access can disclose secrets and may destabilize the host.
High
SKILL.md:114
Memory-mapped file access
vol -f memory.raw windows.memmap --pid <PID> --dump
The command dumps process memory from a RAM image by PID. Process memory can contain credentials, tokens, private data, and malware artifacts.
High
SKILL.md:451
Memory-mapped file access
vol -f memory.raw windows.memmap --pid 1234 --dump
The command dumps process memory for a specific PID from an image. This is legitimate forensic work but can expose sensitive runtime data.
Medium
SKILL.md:49
Temp directory access
sudo insmod lime.ko "path=/tmp/memory.lime format=lime"
The acquisition example writes a full memory image under /tmp. Temporary directories can have weaker handling controls for highly sensitive RAM captures.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 High
SKILL.md:375-388
Credential Extraction Guidance
The skill documents hashdump, lsadump, cachedump, and Mimikatz-style credential extraction from memory. This is valid for authorized forensics but can also support credential theft if misused.
The credential extraction section explicitly lists memory plugins for hashes, LSA secrets, cached domain credentials, and Mimikatz-style extraction.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Privileged live memory acquisition commands are shown without strong authorization warnings.
    Add explicit authorization, production-impact, and evidence-handling warnings before sudo, /dev/mem, /proc/kcore, and live capture examples.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    Credential extraction workflows can expose password hashes, LSA secrets, and cached credentials.
    Frame credential extraction as authorized incident response only and include handling rules for secrets in outputs and reports.
  3. FIX-003
    High
    Process memory dump examples do not warn that extracted dumps can contain sensitive user or application data.
    Add guidance to minimize access, redact secrets, and store extracted process memory under approved evidence controls.
  4. FIX-004
    Medium
    A full memory image is written to /tmp in the LiME example.
    Recommend a controlled evidence directory with restrictive permissions, encryption at rest, and immediate hashing.
