Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data from target codebases and API responses during its 'Analyze' and 'Exploit' phases, creating a vulnerability surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: Files are read using
grepandcat(e.g., inreferences/platform-recon.md); API responses are fetched viacurl(e.g., inreferences/exploit-techniques.md). - Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit delimiters or warnings to treat ingested content as untrusted data.
- Capability inventory: The methodology utilizes
curl,grep,cat, and platform-specific tools likeadbandnpxto perform its tasks. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation logic to filter potentially malicious instructions embedded in the target data.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill contains numerous pre-defined shell command templates (e.g.,
curl,grep,adb,sqlmap,frida) for the agent to use. Although intended for security auditing, these provide a broad surface for command execution on the host or target environment. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The CI/CD integration guide in
references/continuous-pentest.mdrecommends running@keygraph/shannonvianpx, which involves downloading and executing code from the NPM registry. This package is from a third-party source not included in the pre-verified trusted list.
