Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill instructions explicitly direct the agent to bypass sandbox restrictions by re-running commands with escalated permissions if a
runtime_access_deniederror occurs. This encourages the agent to seek higher privilege levels to circumvent platform security controls. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on resolving and executing local binaries (
orca,orca-ide, ororca-dev) based on the presence of environment variables likeORCA_CLI_COMMANDandORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill utilizes a discovery stub pattern to dynamically fetch its full instruction set from the output of a local command (
ORCA skills get orca-cli). This creates a vulnerability where the agent's behavior is dictated by external tool output. - Ingestion points: The output of
ORCA skills get orca-cliis loaded into the agent's context as a guide. - Boundary markers: None present; the skill does not use delimiters to isolate the dynamically loaded guide from its base instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill manages worktrees, terminals, repositories, and an embedded browser through terminal commands.
- Sanitization: No sanitization or validation is performed on the output of the CLI command before it is used to guide agent behavior.
