Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill interacts with sensitive credential storage paths on the local filesystem. While necessary for managing the authentication lifecycle, these paths are sensitive targets.
- References and manipulates the Colab CLI token file at
~/.config/colab-cli/token.json(SKILL.md, references/visible-auth-sidepanel.md). - References the Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADC) file at
~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json(SKILL.md, references/oauth-pkce-recovery.md). - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an attack surface for indirect prompt injection by processing external authentication data.
- Ingestion points: OAuth2 authorization codes provided by the user and authorization URLs generated by the CLI (SKILL.md, references/oauth-pkce-recovery.md).
- Boundary markers: Absent. The skill does not define specific delimiters or warnings to isolate these external inputs from the agent's instructions.
- Capability inventory: Execution of shell commands via the
colabCLI and file deletion usingrm(SKILL.md, references/visible-auth-sidepanel.md). - Sanitization: Absent. There is no mention of validating or escaping the authorization code before it is passed to the terminal process.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses shell commands to manage and verify authentication states.
- Executes
colabsubcommands such aswhoami,sessions, andversion(SKILL.md). - Executes
rm -fto delete locally cached tokens during logout procedures (references/visible-auth-sidepanel.md).
