Risk Level: MEDIUMCOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill implements a persistence mechanism in Step 1 by instructing the creation of a cron job using
CronCreate("execute-task-heartbeat", "* * * * *", "echo heartbeat"). While used as a heartbeat, the use of cron allows for scheduled, recurring execution of commands. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the
Bashtool to execute various local scripts and commands, includingpython3 script.py,git rev-parse, and.atlas-ai/ship-check.py. This relies on the security of the local project scripts. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is explicitly described as 'autonomous by design,' instructing the agent to avoid
AskUserQuestionand modal prompts inside the execution loop. This instruction bypasses standard human-in-the-loop safety checkpoints. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an Indirect Prompt Injection attack surface by ingesting and processing external data.
- Ingestion points: The skill reads task definitions from
.taskmaster/tasks/tasks.jsonand implementation plans fromdocs/superpowers/plans/*.md. - Boundary markers: The instructions mandate serializing the full task text into subagent dispatch prompts but do not specify the use of delimiters or 'ignore embedded instructions' warnings.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to
Bash(shell execution),Agent(subagent dispatching),Write(file modification), and various MCP tools for project management. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization, escaping, or validation of the task/plan content before it is interpolated into agent prompts.
