Risk Level: HIGHREMOTE_CODE_EXECUTIONCOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides instructions to download and execute a shell script from a remote URL (
https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh) by piping the output ofcurldirectly tosh. While the source is the official domain for theuvtool, this execution pattern is a security risk as it bypasses manual inspection of the script content.\n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation suggests executing the agent with the--dangerously-skip-permissionsflag. This configuration explicitly disables the platform's security prompts that normally require user approval for file modifications and shell command execution, granting the agent full autonomy to alter the local environment.\n- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's architecture creates an indirect prompt injection surface. The agent is instructed to read directives fromprogram.mdand modify Python scripts (train.py) based on that content.\n - Ingestion points: Directive text from
program.md.\n - Boundary markers: Absent; the agent is not instructed to isolate or ignore embedded commands within the directive.\n
- Capability inventory: Full file-write access to
train.pyand shell execution viauv run.\n - Sanitization: Absent; external instructions are interpolated directly into the agent's coding task loop.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
