Full Analysis
  • [SAFE]: The skill implements AES-256-GCM encryption for data at rest using standard libraries and secure parameters.\n
  • Evidence:\n
  • Analysis of scripts/agent.py and scripts/process.py shows proper use of PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations for key derivation.\n
  • Cryptographically secure random nonces are generated via os.urandom() and are never reused for the same key.\n
  • The implementation includes integrity checks via the GCM authentication tag, ensuring that modified ciphertext will be detected during decryption.\n- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses a potential attack surface for indirect prompt injection as it reads and processes external files.\n
  • Ingestion points: The encrypt_file and decrypt_file functions in scripts/agent.py and scripts/process.py read data from user-specified file paths.\n
  • Boundary markers: No explicit delimiters or instructions are used to distinguish between processed data and agent instructions.\n
  • Capability inventory: The skill is capable of writing files and creating directories on the local file system.\n
  • Sanitization: The implementation uses authenticated encryption (AES-GCM), which verifies the integrity of the encrypted data, preventing the processing of tampered ciphertext.
