Risk Level: HIGHDATA_EXFILTRATIONINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill instructions direct the agent to access and analyze highly sensitive files in the project repository as part of its exploration phase.
- The agent is specifically told to read
config/master.keyandconfig/credentials.yml.enc. In Rails projects, themaster.keyis the primary secret used to decrypt all other application credentials. - The instructions also prompt the agent to read environment variable configuration files such as
.env.exampleand.env.sampleto document project settings. - Accessing these sensitive files exposes project-level secrets to the AI model, creating a high-risk data exposure scenario.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests the entire codebase to perform its function, which creates a significant surface for indirect prompt injection attacks.
- Ingestion points: The agent is instructed to read any file in the root directory, source code files, and configuration files throughout the project.
- Boundary markers: There are no delimiters or specific instructions for the agent to ignore potentially malicious instructions embedded within the files it is reading.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the ability to read all files in the workspace and write content to
README.md. - Sanitization: The skill lacks any mechanism to sanitize or validate the content it extracts from the codebase before processing it.
