Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The documentation in
SKILL.mdinstructs users to install theparallel-clitool by piping a remote script directly to the bash shell:curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash. This allows arbitrary code from the remote server to be executed with the user's shell privileges without prior verification. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill performs several network operations to external services. In
scripts/generate_schematic_ai.pyandresearch_lookup.py, it uses therequestslibrary and theopenaiSDK to connect toopenrouter.aiandapi.parallel.ai. These connections are used to send user queries, retrieve research data, and generate images. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The script
scripts/generate_schematic.pyusessubprocess.runto execute a local Python script (generate_schematic_ai.py). While it passes arguments as a list, this mechanism is used to trigger secondary script execution within the skill's environment. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection as it processes and synthesizes untrusted data from web searches and academic databases.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the agent's context through search results retrieved in
research_lookup.pyand via theparallel-clitool mentioned inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: The skill does not implement explicit delimiters or instructions to isolate or ignore potentially malicious commands embedded in the retrieved content.
- Capability inventory: The agent is granted
Bashtool access inSKILL.mdand usessubprocess.runin its internal scripts, creating a risk if the agent follows instructions found in search results. - Sanitization: No sanitization or filtering of external content is performed before it is integrated into the final output or used in downstream processing.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://parallel.ai/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
