Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes content from external, untrusted RSS and Atom feeds, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection attacks where malicious instructions could be hidden within news items or summaries.
- Ingestion points: The agent fetches XML content from external URLs provided by the user or discovered on websites using the
curltool (SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: No specific delimiters, framing, or explicit "ignore embedded instructions" warnings are provided to the agent to separate retrieved feed data from its core instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill uses
curlto perform network requests and retrieve data from the internet (SKILL.md). - Sanitization: The instructions recommend stripping HTML from item descriptions and decoding entities, which helps mitigate technical payloads but does not prevent natural language instruction overrides (
SKILL.md). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill utilizes the
curlcommand-line utility to retrieve feed data. - Evidence: The instructions direct the agent to execute
curl -sLwith user-supplied or discovered URLs to fetch XML feeds (SKILL.md). - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill performs network operations to retrieve content from external domains for processing.
- Evidence: The skill fetches data from sources such as
hnrss.organd other feed URLs provided during execution (SKILL.md).
