Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs users to install external dependencies using npx skills add belt-sh/cli and npx skills add inference-sh/skills. These commands download third-party code without version pinning, introducing potential supply chain risks.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the belt CLI to execute remote applications (e.g., belt app run tavily/search-assistant). This delegates execution to a remote platform, extending the skill's capabilities beyond its local instructions.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: User queries, specific questions, and content from targeted URLs are sent to external services (Tavily, Exa, and OpenRouter) via the belt CLI. This involves transmitting potentially sensitive research data to third-party providers.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection. 1. Ingestion points: Untrusted content is fetched from the web using extraction tools. 2. Boundary markers: The provided workflows interpolate this content into prompts (e.g., <content>) without delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands. 3. Capability inventory: The skill uses network-connected tools to retrieve and process this data. 4. Sanitization: There is no evidence of filtering or sanitization of the extracted content before it is processed by the language model.
