Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill provides patterns for agents to automatically triage issues and review pull requests. These agents ingest untrusted content from external contributors (issue descriptions, PR comments, and code diffs). An attacker could embed malicious instructions within an issue to manipulate the agent's behavior, such as mis-prioritizing tasks, closing legitimate bugs, or influencing project board placement.
- Ingestion points:
triage-agentanalyzes issue titles and bodies;code-revieweranalyzes pull request content and metadata. - Boundary markers: The provided prompt templates do not include explicit delimiters (e.g., XML tags) or instructions to treat input as data rather than instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agents are granted
github-issue_write,github-projects_write, andpull-requests: writepermissions, allowing them to modify repository state based on processed data. - Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization, filtering, or validation of external content before it is passed to the LLM context.
- [SAFE]: The documentation follows security best practices for CI/CD, such as recommending the use of
step-security/harden-runnerfor egress traffic auditing and using standard GitHub Actions secrets (secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN) for authentication. - [SAFE]: The external URLs referenced in the code snippets (e.g.,
feedback-api.example.com) and the tools mentioned (e.g.,jscpd,complexity-report) are standard documentation placeholders or well-known development utilities.
