Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes data retrieved from a local knowledge base and external web search results, which creates a potential surface for indirect prompt injection if those sources contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: The skill retrieves data using
gbrain getandgbrain queryinSKILL.mdand processes synthesized web content from Perplexity. - Boundary markers: The skill instructions suggest a structured prompt template (
Topic: <topic> / Brain context: <context>), which helps delimit data from instructions. - Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to write to local storage (
gbrain put) and make network requests viacurlto the Perplexity API. - Sanitization: There is no explicit mention of sanitizing or escaping the content interpolated into the API prompts.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill performs network operations to reach the Perplexity API at
api.perplexity.ai. This is a well-known service used for the skill's primary research purpose. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill requires a
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY. The documentation correctly instructs the user to provide this via an environment variable or a.envfile, which is a standard and safe method for secret management.
