Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill instructions directly interpolate the
$ARGUMENTSvariable into the system prompt. A malicious user could provide a research request designed to override the coordinator's instructions, potentially causing it to ignore safety guidelines or perform unauthorized actions. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The subagents managed by this skill process untrusted data from external sources via the
paper-search browse <url>tool, creating a surface for indirect injection attacks. - Ingestion points: User-provided research requests ($ARGUMENTS) and content fetched from the public web/academic databases through CLI search tools.
- Boundary markers: The skill lacks explicit delimiters or instructions for the agent to disregard commands embedded within the external research data it processes.
- Capability inventory: The orchestrator and its spawned subagents have access to
Bash(command execution),Task(agent spawning), andWrite/Read(filesystem access). - Sanitization: The skill does not implement validation or sanitization of the content retrieved from external URLs before processing it.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill leverages the
Bashtool to interact with research CLI utilities (paper,paper-search). While these tools are necessary for the skill's functionality, the availability of a full shell environment increases the impact of a potential prompt injection compromise.
