Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill's installation instructions recommend executing a shell script directly from a remote source:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonpiaz/watch-cli/main/install.sh | bash. This pattern allows an untrusted third-party repository (sonpiaz/watch-cli) to execute arbitrary code on the user's system. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill makes extensive use of CLI tools like
yt-dlp,ffmpeg,jq, andcurl. It defines several commands (watch,dl-video,extract-frames,transcribe,audio-q) that execute these tools using user-provided video URLs, file paths, and local cookie files. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and process data from external social media platforms (YouTube, X, TikTok, LinkedIn) which are not under the user's control.
- Ingestion points: Video audio and frames are fetched from external URLs via
yt-dlpand processed into text transcripts and image descriptions. - Boundary markers: None. The instructions encourage the agent to incorporate the transcript and frame descriptions directly into its reasoning process.
- Capability inventory: The skill patterns suggest the agent should perform tasks like "implement the project shown" or "generate React/HTML+CSS implementation" based on the video content, which involves writing code and creating files.
- Sanitization: No measures are described to sanitize or validate the content of the transcripts or frames to prevent them from containing malicious instructions for the agent.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonpiaz/watch-cli/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
