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.key and config/credentials.yml.enc. In Rails projects, the master.key is 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.example and .env.sample to 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.
