Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to install the
@openai/codexpackage from the npm registry. This originates from a well-known service and trusted organization (OpenAI). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documents native features of the Codex CLI that enable shell command execution, specifically the
!commandshortcut within the TUI and theexecsubcommand for non-interactive automation. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The instructions describe high-privilege flags and sandbox settings, such as
--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox(alias--yolo) anddanger-full-access, which permit the agent to perform unrestricted operations on the host system. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill describes an AI agent architecture designed to ingest project source code and user-provided instructions, which is a standard attack surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: The tool reads files within the project directory and processes natural language prompts from the user.
- Boundary markers: The skill does not define specific delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands within the ingested project data.
- Capability inventory: The tool possesses capabilities for filesystem modification (
workspace-write), network access, and arbitrary shell command execution. - Sanitization: No explicit sanitization or input validation logic is described in the skill instructions.
