Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill promotes the use of piped remote script execution for installation, a practice that allows arbitrary code execution from a third-party server.
bash <(curl -fsSL https://cdn.link-ai.tech/code/cow/run.sh)in the Linux/macOS installation section.irm https://cdn.link-ai.tech/code/cow/run.ps1 | iexin the Windows PowerShell installation section.- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's architecture allows for indirect prompt injection that can lead to command execution.
- Ingestion points: The skill uses
web_fetch,browser, andreadtools to ingest untrusted data from external sources and local files. - Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or sanitization logic is present in the skill definitions.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to powerful tools including
bash,write, andscheduler. - Sanitization: The provided example
github-issue-reporterskill demonstrates a vulnerability by interpolating remote data ({{issues_data}}) directly into a shell command string (echo '{{issues_data}}' | jq ...). This allows an external attacker to execute arbitrary commands by crafting malicious input in the source data (e.g., a GitHub issue title). - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill explicitly enables arbitrary shell command execution through a built-in
bashtool, which is used in several examples to process data and interact with the system. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Downloads scripts and configuration files from non-trusted external domains.

Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://cdn.link-ai.tech/code/cow/run.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
