Dns Records

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple DNS lookup helper with expected outbound DNS behavior and no evidence of hidden access, persistence, credential use, or destructive actions.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent making DNS queries for domains you provide. Use the documented record types, avoid passing arbitrary dig options as record types or domains, and remember that DNS lookups may be visible to your configured resolver or network operator.

def dig(domain, rtype="A"):

Finding
User-controlled domain and record type values are passed directly to the dig command without validation. Although shell injection is avoided, an attacker can supply option-like values such as domains beginning with '-' or unexpected record types, which may alter dig's behavior, trigger unintended network queries, or be abused for argument injection against the external tool.
