Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to install the Coder CLI using a shell pipe (
curl -fsSL https://coder.com/install.sh | sh). This pattern executes a remote script directly with shell privileges. While the source is the official vendor domain, this method bypasses standard package verification. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches an installation script and documentation from the author's official website (
coder.com) to set up and guide CLI operations. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on the
coderCLI to perform all workspace operations. This includes running arbitrary shell commands inside remote development environments viacoder ssh <workspace> -- <command>. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data retrieved from the Coder deployment, creating a potential vector for malicious content to influence the agent.
- Ingestion points: The agent reads build logs (
coder logs) and file contents (coder ssh cat) from remote workspaces. - Boundary markers: There are no explicit delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands when processing this external data.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses significant capabilities, including workspace lifecycle management (creation and deletion), file writing via
tee, and network port forwarding. - Sanitization: No sanitization or validation steps are defined for the logs or file contents retrieved from the workspaces before the agent acts on them.
- [PERSISTENCE]: The skill uses
coder config-ssh -yto modify the local~/.ssh/configfile. While this is the intended functionality for integrating SSH-aware tools with the workspaces, it involves automated modification of sensitive system configuration files.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://coder.com/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
