Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill documentation describes a
--deliver webhook:<url>flag. This feature allows the agent to transmit command output—which may include sensitive video metadata, workspace statistics, or private transcripts—to any user-defined or attacker-provided URL via a POST request. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill instructs users to manually extract a
TELLA_SESSION_COOKIE(containing__Secure-Tella.sessionandXSRF-TOKEN) from a logged-in browser to access unofficial API features. Handling raw session cookies in environment variables increases the risk of account takeover and credential theft if the environment is compromised. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill requires the installation of the
tella-pp-clibinary. It provides installation commands usingnpxfrom@mvanhorn/printing-press-libraryandgo installfrom a GitHub repository managed by the vendor. While these are from the skill's own vendor, they represent external code dependencies executed on the host. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill acts as a surface for indirect prompt injection by processing external data such as video transcripts and webhook messages. Malicious content embedded in a video's transcript could potentially influence the agent's behavior when it performs a
transcripts searchor summarizes video content. - Ingestion points: Untrusted data enters the context via
transcripts search,webhooks tail, andvideos getoutputs inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: The skill does not define specific delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands within the ingested data.
- Capability inventory: The CLI tool can write to the local file system (
--deliver file:), send data over the network (--deliver webhook:), and perform API mutations. - Sanitization: The tool uses structured JSON output and field filtering (
--select), which helps organize data but does not sanitize the text content for potential injection attacks. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill is primarily designed to execute local shell commands via the
tella-pp-clibinary. While this is the intended purpose, the agent has the capability to run a wide range of subcommands that mutate data and interact with the network.
