Risk Level: SAFEPROMPT_INJECTIONCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an indirect prompt injection surface by ingesting untrusted user data for lookup operations. \n
- Ingestion points: The
<control-id>and<framework>parameters provided by the user are directly interpolated into search queries and tool commands in SKILL.md. \n - Boundary markers: The skill does not provide boundary markers or explicit instructions to ignore embedded commands when processing or displaying resolved control data. \n
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to the
Read,Bash,Glob, andGreptools, which can be leveraged if injection occurs. \n - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or input validation instructions to prevent the agent from executing instructions embedded within the control definitions it reads. \n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill performs dynamic path construction and command invocation using user-derived variables. \n
- Evidence: In Step 3, the instruction to read
skills/<framework>-expert/SKILL.mddynamically constructs a file path based on a 'best-guess' framework identifier. Without proper validation of the<framework>string, this pattern introduces a risk of path traversal if the agent attempts to read files outside the intended directory. Additionally, the use of user input in internal command calls like/grc-engineer:map-controls-unifiedposes a surface for argument injection.
