Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (medium risk: 0.65). The runtime workflow fetches free-form example Python scripts and YAML from outsider-authored public sources (GitHub raw URLs) via
curl -fsSL ... -o /tmp/..., then reads the YAML text and executes the downloaded.pyfiles withpython3, so outsider text can enter the LLM context indirectly through the agent’s handling of those contents.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly downloads and executes remote Python scripts from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvidia-holoscan/holoscan-sdk/v${SDK_VER}/examples (curl ... -o ... then python3) and requires fetching the installation doc at https://docs.nvidia.com/holoscan/sdk-user-guide/sdk_installation.html at runtime to determine which wheel to install, so external content both controls runtime behavior and is executed.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.80). The prompt explicitly tells the user/agent to run a sudo command (sudo /opt/nvidia/holoscan/examples/download_example_data) and to install system-level Debian packages/data under /opt, and also directs downloading and executing remote scripts — actions that request elevated privileges and can modify system state.
