Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill recommends installing and executing the
@auth/agent-clipackage usingnpx. The package scope@authdoes not match the vendor resource patterns expected for the authorbetter-auth, which typically uses the@better-authscope, potentially indicating a supply chain or name confusion risk. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The CLI manages sensitive authentication data, including host identity keypairs and agent connection private keys, stored in the
~/.agent-auth/directory. It also provides theauth-agent signcommand, which outputs signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) that could be exposed if handled improperly. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing various shell commands via the
auth-agentCLI to perform its functions, including network interactions, file management, and cryptographic operations. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill fetches and processes external data from remote URLs which could be used to influence agent behavior.
- Ingestion points: Fetches provider configurations from
/.well-known/agent-configurationand capability schemas from remote URLs during thediscoveranddescribesteps (SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or instructions are provided to the agent to ignore embedded instructions within these remote documents.
- Capability inventory: Performs network execution (
auth-agent execute), cryptographic signing (auth-agent sign), and accesses sensitive local keys in~/.agent-auth/. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or strict schema validation described for the remote configuration data before it is processed by the agent.
