Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill relies on
npx --yesto fetch and execute@n8n-as-code/n8n-managerandn8nacfrom the NPM registry at runtime. These downloads are not pinned to specific versions, which introduces a supply chain risk. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes system-level commands to manage n8n instances, including interacting with the Docker daemon and managing service states.
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection through workspace files. It instructs the agent to use shell commands defined inside an external file: "Use the exact
n8n-manager commandandn8nac commandlisted inAGENTS.mdwhen present. Those context-root commands override the portable examples in this skill." - Ingestion points:
AGENTS.mdfile in the workspace or context root. - Boundary markers: Absent; the instructions do not specify any validation or delimiters for the content of
AGENTS.md. - Capability inventory: Execution of shell commands via
npx, Docker management, and network tunnel configuration. - Sanitization: Absent; the agent is directed to use the commands exactly as provided in the external file.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill provides functionality to create public network tunnels (via the
--tunnelflag). While intended for legitimate webhook testing, this capability could be used to expose private local instances or sensitive data to the public internet if triggered by a malicious instruction.
