Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill requires the user to run
npx -y @nomadamas/k-skill@0 instruct rhwp-advancedto obtain instructions, which involves downloading and executing code from an untrusted NPM package at runtime. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill relies on external components from untrusted sources, including the
rhwpRust crate installed viacargo installand pre-built binaries from an external GitHub repository (github.com/edwardkim/rhwp). - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill utilizes the
rhwp convertsub-command, which is explicitly documented as a tool to "unlock read-only HWPs," representing a bypass of document-level security controls. - [PERSISTENCE]: The skill provides an update mechanism via
npx -y @nomadamas/k-skill@0 update, which facilitates persistent control over the local execution environment through remote code updates. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes complex HWP/HWPX documents for debugging and structural analysis, creating a vulnerability surface where malicious instructions in document content could influence agent behavior.
- Ingestion points: HWP/HWPX file paths passed to CLI tools in instruction.md.
- Boundary markers: None identified in the prompt instructions.
- Capability inventory: Shell command execution via
rhwp,npx, andcargo. - Sanitization: No evidence of input sanitization or filtering for HWP document content.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses various shell commands including
mkdirfor directory creation,openfor viewing output, and therhwpCLI for document manipulation.
