Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The scripts/search script is vulnerable to shell command injection. The user-provided $QUERY variable is interpolated into a curl command using double quotes (inside the -d data payload), which allows for the execution of arbitrary commands via subshell syntax like $(...) or backticks if the input contains these patterns.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill connects to https://api.tavily.com/search, a well-known AI-optimized search service, to fulfill search requests.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data from the web through search results, presenting an indirect prompt injection surface.
  • Ingestion points: External content fetched from the Tavily API and processed in scripts/search.
  • Boundary markers: No delimiters or warnings are used when printing the external content to the agent context.
  • Capability inventory: The content is printed to standard output and is not used in dangerous operations such as file writing or code execution sinks within the skill's logic.
  • Sanitization: The script uses JSON parsing to process the API response before printing.
