Risk Level: SAFECOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill establishes a multi-agent coordination protocol that relies on reading and responding to messages from other agents. This creates a surface where one agent could influence another through malicious instructions embedded in messages.
- Ingestion points: Found in
SKILL.mdin the 'Receive a message' section, where the agent usesherdr agent readto ingest transcripts from other panes. - Boundary markers: The skill defines a formal envelope
[herdr peer ...]to distinguish peer messages from other content. - Capability inventory: The agent can execute shell commands via the
herdrCLI, includingagent prompt,agent read, andagent send-keysacross different panes. - Sanitization: The instructions include a requirement to manually inspect the origin pane's context and transcript if a message is suspicious, and to consult the user for sensitive or destructive actions.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the
herdrCLI to interact with the environment and other agents. It constructs shell commands using variables like<session>,<origin-pane>, and<target-pane>derived from the coordination protocol. While these are intended for legitimate orchestration, they represent a surface for command injection if input parameters are not strictly validated by the underlying platform.
