Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill makes extensive use of shell commands to support its research and reporting workflow. It utilizes
date +%Y-%m-%dfor timestamping research. It usescurlfor downloading external research materials such as PDFs and datasets. It employspandocandmd-to-pdfto convert generated Markdown reports into PDF format. Use of these tools on content sourced from the web carries a risk if the input contains exploits targeting the underlying rendering engines. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill is centered around fetching data from the public internet. It uses
WebSearchandWebFetchas core research capabilities. Instructions inreferences/parallel-search.mdexplicitly permit sub-agents to usecurlfor downloading external files for summarization. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits a significant attack surface for indirect prompt injection. 1. Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the agent context via
WebSearch,WebFetch, andcurldownloads (SKILL.md, references/parallel-search.md). 2. Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit boundary markers or 'ignore' directives to prevent the agent from following instructions embedded within the retrieved research data. 3. Capability inventory: The agent has access toWrite,Agent(for spawning sub-agents), andBash(for curl, pandoc, and md-to-pdf), which could be leveraged if an injection is successful. 4. Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or filtering of external content before it is processed or written to the report file.
