Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill instructions explicitly direct the agent to "re-run it with escalated permissions" if a sandbox blocks connection (noted as a
runtime_access_deniederror). This encourages the agent to attempt to bypass security controls and operate with higher privileges than intended. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute shell commands using the
orcaCLI to manage orchestration, load guides, and start the runtime (e.g.,ORCA skills get orchestration,ORCA open --json). - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill uses conditional logic to determine which executable to run (
orca,orca-ide, ororca-dev) based on the environment context, such asORCA_CLI_COMMANDorORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOTenvironment variables. This allows the agent to target different binaries dynamically. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is a "discovery stub" that fetches its actual instructions and orchestration reference at runtime using
ORCA skills get orchestration. This creates a vulnerability where the agent ingests untrusted instructions from external command output. - Ingestion points: Command output from
ORCA skills get orchestrationandORCA skills get orchestration --reference. (SKILL.md) - Boundary markers: None identified; the skill instructions direct the agent to read and follow the returned guide verbatim.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses the capability to execute shell commands and manage multi-agent task DAGs through the
orcabinary. - Sanitization: None identified; the agent is instructed to use the guide to handle its next commands directly.
