Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted academic manuscripts, which is an inherent attack surface for indirect prompt injection. However, the risk is comprehensively mitigated by the 'Sprint Contract Protocol' and 'Iron Rules'.
- Ingestion points: Manuscripts are ingested in Phase 1 (Panel Review) of the workflow.
- Boundary markers: The skill uses explicit XML-style tags (
<phase1_output>) and 'Iron Rules' to instruct agents to ignore embedded commands in untrusted materials. - Capability inventory: The agents have no direct network or arbitrary command execution capabilities; they interact with local validation scripts (e.g.,
scripts/check_panel_synthesis.py) and an orchestrated cross-model verification service. - Sanitization: The architecture employs a two-phase verification where agents must define and acknowledge their scoring triggers in a 'paper-blind' phase before being granted access to the manuscript, preventing adversarial content from altering the evaluation framework.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill features an optional 'Cross-Model Reviewer Track' for verifying findings. This process is designed with security best practices, including an explicit user consent gate and strict data-minimization protocols before manuscripts are shared with external model providers.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The orchestration logic refers to internal Python scripts (e.g.,
scripts/check_pipeline_integrity.py) used for system integrity and consistency auditing. These tools are legitimate vendor resources used for process validation.
