Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill enables the agent to fetch content and site data from an EmDash instance, which could contain malicious instructions designed to influence the agent's behavior.
- Ingestion points: Data is retrieved via
npx emdash content list,npx emdash content get, andnpx emdash site exportas described inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: The instructions do not specify the use of delimiters or clear separation between CMS-provided data and the agent's system prompt.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the ability to execute shell commands (
npx emdash), write to the local file system (e.g., site backups and type definitions), and interact with remote APIs over the network. - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitizing or filtering the retrieved CMS content before it is presented to the agent.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on the execution of the
emdashCLI tool vianpx. This is a vendor-provided tool used for legitimate management purposes but represents the execution of external code within the agent's environment. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill refers to
cloudflaredfor handling authentication tokens through Cloudflare Access, which is a recognized and trusted service. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The documentation notes that the CLI may store authentication credentials and custom headers in a local configuration file at
~/.config/emdash/auth.json. This is standard for CLI tools but identifies a sensitive local path where credentials may be exposed.
