Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill includes a recommended installation command in
SKILL.mdthat fetches a shell script from a remote URL and pipes it directly into the shell (curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimalaya/himalaya/master/install.sh | PREFIX=~/.local sh). This pattern provides no opportunity for content verification before execution, allowing for potential code injection if the source or transmission is compromised. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests and processes untrusted data from external sources, which creates a surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: Reading emails via
himalaya message readand listing envelopes viahimalaya envelope list(documented inSKILL.md). - Boundary markers: The instructions do not define boundary markers or clear delimiters to separate email content from agent instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill has capabilities to send emails (
himalaya template send), move/copy/delete messages, and manage attachments, which could be abused if the agent follows instructions hidden within a processed email. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or filtering of email content before it is processed by the agent.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documentation in
references/configuration.mdhighlights a feature where arbitrary shell commands can be configured to retrieve passwords (backend.auth.cmd). While this is a native feature of the Himalaya CLI, it represents a sensitive capability that could be targeted for abuse.
