Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to download a desktop application binary from an external GitHub repository (github.com/grab/TalkToFigmaDesktop/releases).
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The installation instructions explicitly guide the user to bypass operating system security features. For macOS, it directs users to bypass Gatekeeper using 'Right-click app → Open → Open'. For Windows, it directs users to bypass SmartScreen using 'More info → Run anyway'. These instructions facilitate the execution of untrusted code by circumventing built-in security protections designed to prevent the installation of unauthorized software.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The MCP configuration setup requires the AI client to execute a local file (mcp-server.cjs) via node. This file is dynamically installed or managed by the external desktop application, creating a vector for local code execution controlled by the external software.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill retrieves and processes data from external Figma design files, which creates an attack surface for instructions embedded in design layers or properties that could influence the AI's behavior.
  • Ingestion points: Node data and properties retrieved via tools such as get_node_by_id, search_nodes, and get_all_nodes from Figma files.
  • Boundary markers: None identified; there are no instructions to the agent to treat content from Figma as untrusted data or to separate it from system instructions.
  • Capability inventory: The skill has significant capabilities, including creating nodes (create_rectangle, create_text), modifying properties (set_properties), and deleting nodes (delete_node).
  • Sanitization: No evidence of data validation or sanitization for Figma design content before it is processed by the skill.
Recommendations
  • AI detected serious security threats
