Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill defines extensive usage of the
n8n-clibinary through the Bash tool to perform administrative tasks such as workflow deployment, project management, and system auditing. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The instructions guide the user on configuring the
N8N_API_KEYusing environment variables or configuration files. It also includes commands for creating credentials within the n8n instance, which requires handling sensitive API data during the creation process. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill facilitates the ingestion of data from external sources that could contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: Commands like
n8n-cli workflow get,n8n-cli execution get --include-data, andn8n-cli data-table rowsfetch content directly from a remote n8n instance. - Boundary markers: The instructions do not specify the use of delimiters or specific warnings to ignore instructions embedded within the retrieved workflow or execution data.
- Capability inventory: The agent has broad capabilities including file system writes (
Write) and the ability to modify instance state (create/update/delete workflows and credentials) vian8n-cli. - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitizing or escaping the data fetched from the n8n instance before the agent processes it, which could allow a malicious workflow or execution log to influence agent behavior.
