Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses a wrapper script
scripts/run.pythat executes multiple shell commands viasubprocess.runto manage virtual environments, install packages, and launch the core trends script. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The
scripts/run.pyscript performs runtime installation of Python packages (trendspyg[analysis],selenium,requests) usingpip. This bypasses static environment configuration and introduces potential supply chain risks from non-standard libraries. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes external search trend data that could potentially contain malicious instructions intended to influence the agent's output formatting or behavior.
- Ingestion points: Data is ingested through RSS feeds and CSV downloads from Google Trends in
scripts/trends.py. - Boundary markers: No boundary markers or 'ignore' instructions are used when processing the trend data.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses network access, file writing capabilities (temporary CSVs), and command execution via the wrapper script.
- Sanitization: No sanitization is performed on the trend strings retrieved from external sources before they are passed to the agent for display.
- [METADATA_POISONING]: The skill includes a file named
.security-scan-passedwhich contains claims about passing security validations. This is an attempt to influence the evaluator's trust through self-asserted safety claims.
