Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
- Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.70). These links deliver prebuilt binaries and a curl|bash install script from a relatively unknown GitHub user (saladday) and an unfamiliar domain (ara.so); while GitHub releases are commonly used for legitimate distribution, direct execution of remote shell scripts and downloading unsigned executables from an unvetted account are common malware vectors and warrant caution.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The SKILL.md explicitly documents commands that fetch and install community skills from the SSOT skills repository (e.g., "cc-switch skills discover", "cc-switch skills install", "cc-switch skills refresh-repo") which download untrusted, user-generated skill files that are copied into app .skills/ and prompt locations and can change assistant behavior.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's install and build steps instruct running remote code (curl -fsSL https://github.com/SaladDay/cc-switch-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash) and downloading/cloning release assets (e.g., https://github.com/saladday/cc-switch-cli/releases/latest/download/cc-switch-cli-darwin-universal.tar.gz and git clone https://github.com/saladday/cc-switch-cli.git) which would fetch and execute remote code and are required to obtain the cc-switch-cli tool.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.90). The prompt instructs running remote install scripts and explicitly uses sudo to copy binaries into /usr/local/bin and to change system permissions (and even advises granting Full Disk Access), which directs actions that modify system state and require elevated privileges.
