WHAT IT DOES

What execute_get_privs does on Cobalt Strike MCP Server

AI agents call execute_get_privs to retrieve information from Cobalt Strike MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why execute_get_privs is rated Low

This tool reads and returns privilege/permission information for the current process context in a Cobalt Strike beacon. It has no write or destructive side effects itself. However, in the context of a red team C2 framework, even read operations carry medium severity since they support adversarial situational awareness that can guide further exploitation steps.

From the tool's definition 'Get current privileges' — retrieves privilege information about the current beacon session
