Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill uses high-pressure, authoritative language to hijack the agent's decision-making process. It mandates that the agent 'ABSOLUTELY MUST' invoke its skills even if there is only a '1% chance' they apply, and explicitly defines a hierarchy where the 'Gangsta skills' override the default system prompt.
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: In
references/codex-tools.md, the skill describes a mechanism for 'Named agent dispatch' that involves reading external prompt files (e.g.,agents/soldier.md) and using their content to spawn subagents. This dynamic loading and execution of instructions from arbitrary file paths creates a significant attack surface for executing untrusted instructions. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides comprehensive tool mappings for four different platforms (Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode), enabling the agent to perform extensive file system operations (
Read,Write,Edit) and shell command execution (Bash,run_shell_command,bash). - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The
codex-tools.mdfile provides specific templates for subagent dispatch that use XML tags and task-delegation framing to ensure the model treats the injected content as 'authoritative', which is a technique used to bypass safety filters or system-level constraints. - [DATA_EXPOSURE_AND_EXFILTRATION]: The skill includes mappings for web-fetching tools (
WebFetch,web_fetch,webfetch) and web-searching capabilities, which could be chained with its file-reading capabilities to exfiltrate data from the local environment.
