Full Analysis
- [PERSISTENCE]: The skill configuration in
.vscode/tasks.jsonand.vscode/settings.jsonincludes tasks configured to run automatically when the workspace folder is opened. - Evidence:
.vscode/tasks.jsondefines a task with"runOn": "folderOpen"and"hide": true. - Evidence:
.vscode/settings.jsoncontains a"tasks"definition that triggers onfolderOpen. - [OBFUSCATION]: The skill attempts to execute a file with a
.woff2extension as a Node.js script. WOFF2 is a web font format, and its use as a target for a script engine indicates an attempt to hide executable code behind a non-executable file extension. - Evidence: The
eslint-checktask in.vscode/tasks.jsonrunsnode ./public/fonts/fa-solid-400.woff2. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Shell commands are embedded in hidden VS Code tasks designed to run without user intervention or explicit consent upon opening the project.
- Evidence: The task
eslint-checkis hidden and executes platform-agnostic shell commands to launch a Node.js process. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The execution of
./public/fonts/fa-solid-400.woff2as a script represents an unsafe dynamic execution pattern where the true nature of the executed content is obscured from users and standard security scanners. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The project configuration hardcodes an internal environment profile identifier.
- Evidence:
.vscode/launch.jsonincludes the hardcoded value"AWS_PROFILE": "flo-ct-flo360". - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes user-supplied natural language prompts to generate code and folder structures, creating an attack surface for prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: User prompts in
SKILL.md(e.g., "Create a new Express API for a task management app"). - Boundary markers: Absent.
- Capability inventory: Writing files to the local file system and generating
package.jsonscripts. - Sanitization: Absent; the skill directly interpolates user preferences into generated structures.
