Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill installs the
thingsCLI tool from a non-trusted GitHub repository (github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli) using thego installcommand during the installation phase. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Relies on the execution of the
thingsbinary to interact with the local Things 3 database and perform write operations via macOS URL schemes. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Accesses the local Things 3 database folder (
ThingsData-*), which contains sensitive personal tasks, notes, and project metadata. Although no outbound network requests were identified in the skill instructions, the third-party binary has access to this data. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents an attack surface for indirect prompt injection. 1. Ingestion points: The agent ingests external data from the local Things database through commands like
things inbox,things today, andthings search. 2. Boundary markers: No delimiters or clear instructions are used to distinguish retrieved task data from system instructions. 3. Capability inventory: The skill can execute shell commands to add or update tasks (things add,things update). 4. Sanitization: There is no evidence of validation, escaping, or filtering of the content retrieved from the database before it is processed by the agent.
