Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The
catalog.jsonfile defines aninstall.commandfield that executes a shell command (curl -s https://ethskills.com/building-blocks/SKILL.md). This represents execution of shell logic during the installation phase. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The
setupsection incatalog.jsoninstructs the agent/user to install external plugins from unverified sources, specificallyclaude plugin install https://github.com/austintgriffith/ethskills. This facilitates the execution of remote code from a third-party repository. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill points to and downloads data from external domains (
ethskills.comandgithub.com/austintgriffith/*) that are not recognized as trusted or well-known technology providers. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates a surface for indirect prompt injection by explicitly instructing the agent to read and follow guidelines from a remote URL (
https://ethskills.com/building-blocks/SKILL.md). - Ingestion points: Remote markdown file at
ethskills.com. - Boundary markers: None provided in the instructions to isolate the remote content.
- Capability inventory: The skill allows shell command execution via
curland installation of external plugins. - Sanitization: No validation or sanitization is performed on the content retrieved from the external URL before the agent processes it.
