Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The meta-skill generator clones the Application Security Testing Handbook from the official Trail of Bits GitHub repository (
https://github.com/trailofbits/testing-handbook) to analyze documentation structure and extract content for skill generation. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The generation methodology in
testing-handbook-generator/involves processing data from the external handbook and summarized content from referenced web resources to create new skill instructions. This architecture presents an indirect prompt injection surface (Category 8). - Ingestion points: The skill ingests data via repository cloning in
discovery.mdand fetches external resource content via WebFetch inagent-prompt.md. - Boundary markers: While the agent prompt provides structure for generation, it lacks explicit delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands within the processed external data.
- Capability inventory: The toolkit possesses the capability to write generated skill files to the local file system and execute validation scripts.
- Sanitization: No specific sanitization or instruction filtering is implemented for the content retrieved from external URLs.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill includes a Python script (
scripts/validate-skills.py) to verify the integrity and structure of generated skills. Furthermore, the toolkit provides the agent with extensive instructions and command-line patterns for executing common security tools such aslibFuzzer,AFL++, andSemgrep.
