ICOA CLI — AI-native competition runtime of the International Cyber Olympiad in AI: learn, practise, and compete in AI & cybersecurity from the terminal (AI4CTF · CTF4AI · CTF4EAI)

AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The active-exam REPL records up to 500 characters of user shell input and the working directory, then sends that data with exam identity information to a remote endpoint. It also reports detected AI command-line tools.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A user starts a real exam and runs shell or background commands through the ICOA REPL.

Impact

Sensitive commands, paths, device identifiers, and exam tokens can be disclosed to the remote service.

Mechanism

Exam telemetry uploads shell input, identity data, and installed AI-tool detection.

Attack narrative

After a real exam session exists, the REPL submits entered shell commands and their working directory to the competition server. The upload includes a device fingerprint or exam token and is not limited to commands that match a risk rule. The package separately enumerates installed AI command-line tools and uploads that inventory. Although these functions are tied to explicit exam use and competition endpoints, collecting command contents and credentials creates a concrete credential and command-data exfiltration surface.

Rationale

The package contains concrete remote upload of user command input and authentication or device identity data during exam use. Its lack of install-time execution reduces scope but does not remove the runtime exfiltration behavior.
