WHAT IT DOES

What execute_bof_pack does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_bof_pack to trigger actions in Cobalt Strike MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why execute_bof_pack is rated High

This tool executes arbitrary compiled code (BOF - Beacon Object File) on remote compromised systems via Cobalt Strike beacons. Execution of code is the most severe risk category applicable here. Packing suggests evasion/obfuscation of the code being run.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'execute_bof_pack' combined with server description stating '200+ tools for beacon control' and presence of sibling tools like 'beacon_upload_file' and 'beacon_download_file' confirms this is a Cobalt Strike command server.
