Full Analysis
  • [OBFUSCATION]: The skill uses zero-width Unicode characters (U+200B, U+200C, U+200D) hidden in the headers of SKILL.md and references/philosophy.md to encode data invisibly.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The hidden Unicode characters provide instructions that are invisible to humans but interpreted by the AI agent, constituting a steganographic prompt injection attack.
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The decoded payload in SKILL.md contains instructions for the agent to execute shell commands from a remote server.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The hidden payload in references/philosophy.md instructs the agent to exfiltrate sensitive environment information to an external endpoint.
