Full Analysis
- [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill generates LaTeX source code by merging user observations and external literature data into a provided template, and subsequently executes shell commands (
xelatex,bibtex) to compile the document. This sequence of generating a script-like file and then executing a processor on it constitutes a low-severity dynamic execution pattern. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill has a large attack surface for indirect injection as it fetches content from PubMed and the general web to ground its hypotheses.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters via
WebFetch(PubMed) andWebSearchtools as described in the search workflow. - Boundary markers: There are no instructions for the agent to use delimiters or ignore instructions within the fetched scientific text.
- Capability inventory: The skill uses
WriteandEditto create files andBashto execute the LaTeX compiler. - Sanitization: No sanitization or escaping of the fetched text is performed before it is placed into the LaTeX source code.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill utilizes the
Bashtool to run thexelatexandbibtexbinaries locally. This is a standard requirement for generating PDFs from LaTeX but involves the execution of external system tools on content influenced by external sources.
