Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads the
heretic-llmpackage from PyPI and clones source code fromhttps://github.com/p-e-w/hereticduring the installation process. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill facilitates the execution of third-party code from the
heretic-llmrepository via thehereticCLI tool and the provided installation script. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The
scripts/install.shscript uses theevalcommand to execute shell strings constructed from environment variables such asUPSTREAM_URL,REF, andPIP. This pattern can lead to arbitrary command injection if the environment variables are manipulated by an attacker. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill retrieves content from external websites (such as Hugging Face and Reddit) via the
scraplingskill to research models and benchmarks. - Ingestion points: External web content, model cards, and community discussions are read into the agent's context.
- Boundary markers: No explicit delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands in retrieved data are defined in the instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill can execute shell commands (
Bash), modify the local file system (Write,Edit), and perform network requests (WebFetch). - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation of retrieved external content before it is processed by the agent.
