Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads the actionlint binary and an associated checksum file from a third-party GitHub repository (rhysd/actionlint).
- Evidence:
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint/releases/download/v${ACTIONLINT_VERSION}/actionlint_${ACTIONLINT_VERSION}_linux_amd64.tar.gz" - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The Linux installation script uses elevated permissions to move the downloaded binary to a protected system directory.
- Evidence:
sudo install -m 755 /tmp/actionlint /usr/local/bin/actionlint - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes shell commands to download, verify, extract, and run the linter.
- Evidence: Use of
curl,sha256sum,tar, and theactionlintbinary itself. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted workflow files which could theoretically contain instructions intended to influence the agent's behavior during the linting process.
- Ingestion points: The skill reads file content from
.github/workflows/*.yml. - Boundary markers: None identified in the prompt instructions to the agent.
- Capability inventory: The skill can execute the
actionlintcommand and system utilities. - Sanitization: No explicit sanitization or filtering of the file content is performed before it is passed to the linter.
