Risk Level: HIGHREMOTE_CODE_EXECUTIONCOMMAND_EXECUTIONEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADSPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill uses a dangerous pattern of fetching data from a remote API and piping it directly into a Python interpreter.
- Evidence:
curl -sL "https://api.github.com/repos/mattpocock/skills/compare/<last_sha>...<UPSTREAM_SHA>" | python3 -c "..."inSKILL.md. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill performs multiple shell commands that interact with the local filesystem and external services.
- Evidence: Uses
gh issue list,gh issue create, andgh issue editto manage state in GitHub issues. - Evidence: Writes files to the local directory structure using
plugins/skills/<name>/SKILL.mdand modifiesplugins/README.md. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads content from an external repository that is not part of the trusted vendors list.
- Evidence: Fetches skill files from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mattpocock/skills/main/.... - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is highly vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because it ingests untrusted instructions and incorporates them into the agent's core capability set.
- Ingestion points: Fetches
SKILL.mdcontent from themattpocock/skillsGitHub repository (untrusted source). - Boundary markers: No delimiters or "ignore embedded instructions" warnings are used when writing the downloaded content to new local skill files.
- Capability inventory: The skill can write files (
SKILL.md), modify the project README, and edit GitHub issues via theghCLI. - Sanitization: No security-focused sanitization is performed on the ingested content; the "compliance checks" only verify formatting and cross-platform compatibility.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://api.github.com/repos/mattpocock/skills/git/refs/heads/main, https://api.github.com/repos/mattpocock/skills/compare/ - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
