Risk Level: HIGHCOMMAND_EXECUTIONINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute a shell command to create directory structures using the user-provided
workdirvariable (mkdir -p "<workdir>/waypoints"inreferences/01-meta-initialization.md). This creates a risk of command injection if the variable contains shell metacharacters. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill directs the agent to download PDF files using
curlwith URLs harvested from untrusted web sources (curl -L -o file.pdf '<url>'inreferences/00-research-standards.md). While the prompt provides manual safety advice to single-quote the URL and check for metacharacters, this pattern remains susceptible to command injection if the agent fails to properly sanitize the remote-sourced string. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes potentially untrusted content from the web and literature databases to perform high-stakes operations like file writing and shell execution without adequate boundary markers.
- Ingestion points: Data returned by the
WebSearch,WebFetch, andpubmedMCP tools during research phases. - Boundary markers: No explicit delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands are present in the data processing instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes shell execution capabilities (
curl,mkdir) and file system write operations for waypoints and report generation. - Sanitization: The instructions rely on manual AI validation for shell metacharacters in URLs rather than programmatic sanitization or strict schema enforcement for processed content.
