Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill explicitly instructs the agent to bypass sandbox security blocks by attempting to re-run commands with elevated privileges.
- Evidence: "If it fails with
runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection: re-run it with escalated permissions". - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill functions as a discovery stub that dynamically fetches and executes additional instructions from a local command-line tool, a form of remote instruction loading.
- Evidence:
ORCA skills get orca-cliis used to "load the version-matched guide". - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing various shell binaries (
orca,orca-ide,orca-dev) and suggests resolving these paths based on environment variables or trial-and-error. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill has a significant attack surface for indirect prompt injection because it loads instructions from the output of an external command without sanitization or clear boundary markers.
- Ingestion points: The output of
ORCA skills get orca-cliis treated as the primary instruction set for the session. - Boundary markers: No delimiters or safety instructions are provided to the agent to treat the fetched content as data rather than instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses the ability to execute shell commands and instructions to request permission escalation.
- Sanitization: No sanitization or validation of the fetched instruction content is performed.
