Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill's installation instructions recommend a high-risk method where a script from an untrusted GitHub repository is piped directly into a shell. This allows the remote script to execute arbitrary commands with the user's privileges without prior inspection. Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonpiaz/watch-cli/main/install.sh | bashinSKILL.md.- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches code and dependencies from thesonpiaz/watch-clirepository on GitHub, which is not an established or trusted vendor organization. Evidence: References togithub.com/sonpiaz/watch-cliinSKILL.md.- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill encourages the use of sensitive browser cookie files (~/cookies.txt) to bypass authentication on social media platforms. Accessing and providing these cookies to local or remote tools poses a significant risk of credential exposure if the data is mishandled. Evidence: Instructions for using the--cookiesflag in the Configuration and Troubleshooting sections ofSKILL.md.- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill invokes several external command-line utilities (yt-dlp,ffmpeg,jq) via shell commands, which increases the attack surface if user-provided URLs or metadata are not strictly validated. Evidence: Orchestration logic described in thewatchanddl-videocommand sections.- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates a surface for indirect prompt injection by processing external video transcripts and visual frames as untrusted input. Ingestion points: Video content and metadata processed by thewatch,transcribe, andaudio-qcommands. Boundary markers: Absent; the agent is not instructed to isolate or ignore instructions embedded within the extracted transcripts or frame data. Capability inventory: The agent has access to shell execution (curl,bash), file system writes, and network access for API interactions. Sanitization: Absent; the skill does not validate or sanitize content before it is processed by the AI models.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonpiaz/watch-cli/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
