Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
- Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The URL is a direct link to an install.sh shell script (a remote executable) on x.ai — likely the official xAI/grok installer but executing remote shell scripts (curl | bash) is a high-risk distribution vector unless you verify the domain, TLS cert, signature/checksum, and provenance first.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). The required runtime workflow invokes the authenticated
grokCLI with--disallowed-tools web_fetch(forcing liveweb_search), so Grok’s sub-agent will ingest outsider-authored web/X content it fetches/searches and include it in the returnedjsonfield (.text) that is then read into the main agent context viajq -r '.text'.
