Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs users to install software packages from public registries where the publisher identity does not match the skill author.
- Evidence: Python instructions require
pip install honker. - Evidence: Node.js instructions require
npm install @russellthehippo/honker-node. The scope@russellthehippois inconsistent with the skill author 'brojonat', presenting a supply chain impersonation risk. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill requires loading a compiled native shared library into the SQLite process.
- Evidence: The instructions for raw SQLite include
.load ./libhonker_ext. Native binary execution can bypass language-level security controls and execute arbitrary code on the host machine. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill functions as a consumer for data stored in database tables, which acts as a vector for malicious instructions to influence agent behavior.
- Ingestion points: Data is read from the
payloadcolumn in_honker_live,_honker_streams, and_honker_notificationstables. - Boundary markers: The skill instructions do not specify the use of delimiters or 'ignore' instructions for the processed data.
- Capability inventory: The skill allows for direct file system modification (via SQLite) and subprocess execution for background tasks.
- Sanitization: No evidence of input validation or payload sanitization is present in the skill documentation.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation provides instructions for running background workers that execute arbitrary tasks based on database state.
- Evidence:
python -m honker worker myapp.tasks:db --queue=emails --concurrency=4
