Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the Bash tool to execute a
geminicommand where thetopicandcontextinputs are directly interpolated into the command string (gemini -y -p "<filled Research Prompt Template>"). A malicious user could provide a topic like$(id)or; rm -rf /to execute arbitrary shell commands on the host system. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection through its ingestion of untrusted data. 1. Ingestion points: The
{topic}and{context}variables inSKILL.md. 2. Boundary markers: No delimiters or explicit instructions to ignore embedded commands are present. 3. Capability inventory: The skill has access to web search/fetch tools, bash command execution, and filesystem write operations. 4. Sanitization: No input validation or escaping is performed on the user-supplied data. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The combination of network access (via Claude's WebSearch and WebFetch) and filesystem write capabilities (
mkdir -p docs/researchand file saving) creates a high risk of data exfiltration if the agent is manipulated via command or prompt injection. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill is designed to fetch and process content from arbitrary URLs on the internet, which exposes the system to malicious payloads or instructions designed to exploit the agent's capabilities.
