Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill transmits the full content of user-provided files, encoded as Base64, to a network endpoint defined by the
WATERMARKS_SERVICE_URLenvironment variable. While the default is set to a local loopback address (127.0.0.1), the mechanism allows sending data to any remote server if the variable is modified. - Evidence:
SKILL.mdcontains the command template:curl -s -X POST "${AUTH_HEADER[@]}" "$WM/clean" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d "{\"file\": \"$(base64 < notes.md | tr -d '\n')\", \"name\": \"notes.md\"}". - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted input from user-provided files and sends it to an external service, then decodes and writes the response back to the local filesystem. This creates a surface for indirect prompt injection where malicious content within the files could influence the agent's actions or result in the creation of malicious files locally.
- Ingestion points: User-provided files in various formats (PNG, JPEG, PDF, DOCX, TXT, etc.) as described in the Workflow section of
SKILL.md. - Boundary markers: No specific boundary markers or "ignore embedded instructions" warnings are used when processing the file content.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes
curlfor network operations,base64for encoding/decoding, and standard file read/write operations. - Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization or validation of the external content before processing or after receiving it from the service.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation instructs the agent to execute complex shell commands using
curl,base64, anddocker. The Docker recommendation specifically involves mounting host directories as volumes, which is a high-privilege operation that requires careful oversight. - Evidence:
SKILL.mdsuggests:docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/src:/data:ro" watermarks-remover /app/scripts/audit_dir.py /data --json.
