Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill explicitly instructs the agent to bypass sandbox security controls. It states: "If it fails with runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection: re-run it with escalated permissions". This encourages the agent to seek higher privileges than those originally allocated by the environment.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing local command-line tools such as
orca,orca-ide, ororca-devto manage environments, terminals, and browsers. It provides logic for selecting the appropriate binary based on environment variables likeORCA_CLI_COMMANDandORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill dynamically fetches and loads a version-matched guide via the command
ORCA skills get orca-cli. This content is treated as instructions for the agent, creating a surface where a local executable or its source could inject malicious instructions into the agent's context. - Ingestion points: The output of
ORCA skills get orca-cliis ingested into the session (SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: No boundary markers or "ignore embedded instructions" warnings are used when processing the fetched guide.
- Capability inventory: The skill description indicates it can manage terminals, repos, worktrees, and an embedded browser (SKILL.md).
- Sanitization: No sanitization or validation of the dynamically fetched content is performed before processing.
