Esxi Debian Deploy

· v0.1.3

High Risk

Zero-touch Debian 13 VM deployment on VMware ESXi 8. Builds custom preseed ISO, creates NVMe+vmxnet3 VM with serial console, and runs unattended installation. Use when deploying Debian VMs on ESXi, automating VM provisioning, or setting up serial console access for headless ESXi VM management.

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Prompt injection patterns detected in: scripts/esxi-vm-resize-disk.sh high

Mitigation: Review SKILL.md for hidden instructions. Do not use with untrusted input.

Unauthorized tool use: MCP_SYS_FILE_DESTRUCTION, MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS critical

Mitigation: Remove destructive file operations.

Command injection risk: COMMAND_INJECTION_USER_INPUT, MCP_CMD_DANGEROUS_SYSTEM critical

Mitigation: Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using in commands

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
