Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The script
scripts/start.shcontains a command that fetches an installation script fromhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/lncitador/whatsapp-mcp/main/install.shand pipes it directly into the shell (sh). This method of executing remote scripts is a significant security risk as it bypasses verification and security controls. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill requires downloading a binary and an installation script from an external repository (
github.com/lncitador/whatsapp-mcp). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on the execution of the
whatsapp-mcpbinary for all its core functions, including starting, stopping, and checking the status of the daemon. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill interacts with the
~/.whatsapp-mcp/directory, which stores highly sensitive data such as session credentials, private messages, and media files. Accessing this data represents a risk of sensitive information exposure. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents external content (WhatsApp messages and status) to the agent, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: WhatsApp messages, media files, and authentication status data processed by the
whatsapp-mcpbinary. - Boundary markers: None. No delimiters or safety instructions are used to wrap the untrusted data to prevent the agent from following embedded instructions.
- Capability inventory: Execution of the
whatsapp-mcpbinary and the ability to download and execute remote shell scripts. - Sanitization: None. External content is not sanitized or filtered before being provided to the agent.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lncitador/whatsapp-mcp/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
