Risk Level: HIGHDATA_EXFILTRATIONINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill allows for the reading and remote transmission of arbitrary local files without any directory restrictions. \n
- Evidence: In
media-understand.js, the--mediaargument is used directly as a file path infs.existsSync(mediaPath),fs.statSync(mediaPath), andfalUploadFile(mediaPath). This enables the skill to access any file reachable by the runtime and upload its contents to the remote FAL proxy, presenting a high risk of sensitive data exfiltration (e.g.,.ssh/id_rsa,.envfiles, or AWS credentials) if an attacker-controlled prompt triggers the analysis of these paths.\n- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because it processes untrusted media data and interpolates user prompts into an LLM request without sufficient isolation or sanitization.\n - Ingestion points: The skill accepts external media via the
--mediaparameter (local files or URLs) and a potentially malicious analysis prompt via--prompt.\n - Boundary markers: Absent. The message content for the LLM is constructed in
buildOpenRouterContentby appending the prompt and media URL as separate parts of a payload array without delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands.\n - Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to read the local file system (
fs), perform network uploads (falUploadFile), and interact with external AI providers (falRun).\n - Sanitization: No validation or filtering is applied to the media content or the user-supplied prompt before they are passed to the remote model for analysis.
