Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The installation script
scripts/install-gh.shperforms several operations requiring root-level privileges: - Modifies system directories:
mkdir -p -m 755 /etc/apt/keyringsand/etc/apt/sources.list.d. - Writes to system configuration files: Uses
teeto write the GitHub CLI keyring to/etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpgand add a new repository source to/etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list. - Executes system package management: Runs
apt updateandapt install gh -y, which modifies the system's installed software base. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads the official GitHub CLI archive keyring from a remote server.
- Evidence:
wget -nv -O"$out" https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpginscripts/install-gh.sh. - Note: This is an official download from a well-known service used for the skill's primary purpose.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill sets up an environment for the agent to execute GitHub CLI commands, creating an attack surface for processing untrusted data.
- Ingestion points: Environment variables (
GH_TOKEN,GITHUB_TOKEN) and CLI command arguments. - Boundary markers: Absent.
- Capability inventory:
bash(installation),apt(package management), andgh(GitHub operations). - Sanitization: No sanitization of inputs or commands is provided in the skill scripts.
