Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructions advise installing the Tavily CLI by piping a remote shell script directly to bash (
curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash). This allows the execution of unverified remote code on the system. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The installation process involves fetching a script from the external domain
cli.tavily.com. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests and processes untrusted data from the web, making it susceptible to indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: Data retrieved via
tvly searchandtvly extractinSKILL.mdis added to the agent's context. - Boundary markers: There are no explicit instructions or delimiters used to separate the external content from the agent's primary instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent uses the
Bashtool to executetvlysearch and research commands. - Sanitization: No sanitization or filtering of the retrieved web content is specified in the instructions.
Recommendations
