Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill directly interpolates the user-supplied variable
$ARGUMENTSinto shell commands, such asparallel-cli research run "$ARGUMENTS". An attacker could provide input with malicious quoting or additional flags to manipulate the command's behavior. Although the execution environment is restricted to theparallel-clibinary by theallowed-toolsmanifest, argument injection remains a risk. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation instructs users to update or install software via
pipx upgrade parallel-web-toolsand a platform-specific/parallel-setupcommand. These actions involve downloading and installing external code from the vendor's repositories. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection because it processes untrusted data retrieved from the internet.
- Ingestion points: Web content is ingested via
parallel-cli research runandparallel-cli research poll(Step 1 and Step 2). - Boundary markers: Absent. The skill does not implement delimiters or 'ignore' instructions for the data being researched.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to the filesystem (writing via
-oin Step 2) and theparallel-clitoolset. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization for the executive summaries or markdown reports generated from external web sources before they are presented to the agent context.
