Risk Level: SAFECOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an indirect prompt injection surface (Category 8) because it ingests untrusted chemical structure data which is then used in executable shell commands.\n
- Ingestion points: User-supplied chemical structure strings (SMILES) as described in the 'SMILES Verification' section of
SKILL.md.\n - Boundary markers: Absent. The instructions direct the agent to interpolate the user-provided string directly into a shell command template without delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands.\n
- Capability inventory: The skill requires a subprocess call to execute a local Python script (
python3 src/tooluniverse/tools/smiles_verifier.py) to verify chemical identity.\n - Sanitization: Absent. There are no instructions to sanitize or escape the SMILES string before it is passed to the shell, creating a potential command injection vector.\n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute a local script (
src/tooluniverse/tools/smiles_verifier.py) usingpython3with user-controlled arguments. The lack of input validation for the--smilesargument represents a security risk where a malicious user could provide a crafted string containing shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary commands.
