Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill retrieves and processes external biomedical literature from the PubMed database, creating a surface for potential injection attacks embedded in third-party content.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the agent context via the NCBI E-utilities API responses (PMIDs, abstracts, and full-text metadata) as described in
SKILL.md(Section 4) andreferences/api_reference.md. - Boundary markers: There are no explicit delimiters or instructions provided to the agent to treat retrieved search results as untrusted or to ignore any instructions embedded within them.
- Capability inventory: The skill relies on network operations via the
requestslibrary to fetch data and performs parsing of external XML, JSON, and text responses. - Sanitization: The documentation does not specify any sanitization, filtering, or validation steps for the content retrieved from PubMed before it is displayed or used by the agent.
- [OBFUSCATION]: The skill uses string reversal to hide a support email address in multiple files.
- Evidence: The string
vog.hin.mln.ibcn@seitilitueinSKILL.mdandreferences/api_reference.mdis a reversed representation of the emailutilities@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill initiates network requests to retrieve medical research data from a well-known government-hosted API.
- Source:
https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/ - Context: These requests target the official National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) infrastructure and are consistent with the documented purpose of biomedical literature retrieval.
