Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill mandates the execution of a
curlshell command to a local port (8888) for voice notifications. The command template inSKILL.mduses placeholders (WORKFLOWNAME,ACTION) which are susceptible to shell command injection if the agent populates them with unvalidated user input. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection through the loading of user-defined customizations from
~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Aphorisms/. The instructions explicitly state that these files "override default behavior," allowing malicious configurations to hijack the agent. - Ingestion points:
~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Aphorisms/PREFERENCES.mdand related files. - Boundary markers: Absent.
- Capability inventory:
curl(shell),Edit(file-write),Read(file-read),WebSearch,WebFetch. - Sanitization: Absent.
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The
FindAphorism.mdworkflow ingests untrusted content from external URLs viaWebFetch. This content is processed without boundary markers or sanitization, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection. - Ingestion points: User-provided URLs via
WebFetch. - Boundary markers: Absent.
- Capability inventory:
curl(shell),Edit(file-write),Read(file-read),WebSearch,WebFetch. - Sanitization: Absent.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill utilizes
WebSearchandWebFetchtools to retrieve external data for quote verification, research, and newsletter content analysis.
