Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill instructions direct the agent to circumvent sandbox security. If a tool execution is blocked by the environment (e.g.,
runtime_access_denied), the agent is explicitly told to "re-run it with escalated permissions". - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill uses a "discovery stub" pattern where the primary instructions are fetched at runtime via the
ORCA skills get orca-clicommand. This pattern introduces a surface where external content from the CLI tool dictates the agent's behavior without safety boundaries. 1. Ingestion points: Output of theORCA skills get orca-clicommand. 2. Boundary markers: None; the agent is instructed to follow the fetched guide directly without isolation or safety warnings. 3. Capability inventory: Terminal manipulation, worktree management, repository access, and browser control. 4. Sanitization: No validation, escaping, or filtering of the dynamically loaded instructions is implemented. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing various binary executables (
orca,orca-ide,orca-dev) and resolves these paths based on environment variables likeORCA_CLI_COMMANDandORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, which allows the execution of arbitrary system commands.
