Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes shell commands using standard system utilities such as
pbcopy,pbpaste,xclip, andxselto interact with the host operating system's clipboard. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Provides the capability to read the system clipboard, which often contains sensitive data (e.g., passwords, keys, private text). The skill attempts to mitigate this with a guideline instructing the agent not to display clipboard contents unless specifically requested by the user.
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]:
- Ingestion points: System clipboard data read via
pbpasteorxclip -oserves as an entry point for untrusted external data. - Boundary markers: None present to distinguish between user commands and clipboard content.
- Capability inventory: Includes reading/writing files, piping to other shell transformations (
tr,sort,wc), and echoing text. - Sanitization: No explicit sanitization or escaping of clipboard content is performed before processing or display. This creates a surface for indirect prompt injection if the clipboard contains instructions intended to manipulate the agent's behavior.
