Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill utilizes dynamic context injection (the '!' command syntax) in
SKILL.mdto execute shell scripts automatically when the skill is loaded. These scripts check environment variables and search the file system for configuration files. - Evidence: The
SKILL.mdfile contains a dynamic block executinggrep,git, and path manipulation commands to resolve theFINTEL_API_KEY. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill's initialization logic performs automated scanning of sensitive file paths, specifically searching for
.envfiles in the current working directory and the git repository root. - Evidence: The shell command in
SKILL.mdattempts to locate and read the contents of.envfiles to extract credentials. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests and processes data from the external Fintel API (
api.fintel.io), which creates a surface for indirect prompt injection where instructions could be embedded in market data. - Evidence:
- Ingestion points: Multiple
curlcommands inSKILL.mdandreferences/api-reference.mdpull data fromhttps://api.fintel.io/v1/*. - Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit delimiters or warnings for the agent to disregard potential instructions within the API response.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to shell execution (
curl,grep,git). - Sanitization: No validation or sanitization of the API data is mentioned before processing.
