Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data from live websites, making it vulnerable to indirect prompt injection attacks.
- Ingestion points: Browser interaction commands such as
execute,ask, andextractread content from external URLs as seen inSKILL.mdandreferences/browser_cli.md. - Boundary markers: The instructions do not provide explicit delimiters or warnings to the agent to treat page content as untrusted compared to its primary instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent can navigate, click, type, extract data, execute JavaScript via
evaluate, and manage AWS resources as detailed inreferences/browser_cli.mdandreferences/deployment_cli.md. - Sanitization: No sanitization or filtering of external web content is described.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses a CLI tool (
act) that performs system-level operations, including browser session management and AWS resource deployment inreferences/deployment_cli.md. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The
evaluatecommand allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the browser context to read DOM properties or control the page, as described inreferences/browser_cli.md. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill interacts with sensitive local files and credentials to facilitate authentication and session persistence.
- Sensitive paths: The documentation refers to accessing
~/.aws/credentials,~/.aws/config, and.envfiles for AWS and API key management inreferences/authentication.md. - Browser profiles: The
rsync_from_default_user_datautility and--profileflags access sensitive local browser profile data, including history and cookies, inreferences/authentication.md. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The deployment functionality (
act workflow deploy) automates the creation of high-privilege AWS resources, including IAM roles with wide permissions likenova-act:*, as documented inreferences/deployment_cli.mdandreferences/workflow_definitions.md.
