Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The installation section recommends a highly insecure pattern for acquiring the skill:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cognyai/claude-code-marketing-skills/main/install.sh | bash. This allows for arbitrary command execution on the host system from a remote source that is not verified or listed as a trusted vendor. - [METADATA_POISONING]: There is a significant discrepancy between the system-provided author context ('reason-machines') and the entities referenced in the skill content ('ara.so' and 'cognyai'). This identity mismatch is often associated with supply chain attacks or unauthorized redistribution of code.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill provides numerous functions (e.g.,
/seo-audit,/landing-page-review,/competitor-analysis) that ingest content from arbitrary third-party URLs usingWebFetchandWebSearchtools. This creates an attack surface where malicious instructions hidden on those pages (e.g., in HTML comments or metadata) could influence the agent's behavior. - Ingestion points:
/seo-audit,/landing-page-review, and/competitor-analysiscommands inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: None identified; there are no instructions to the agent to treat fetched web content as untrusted data.
- Capability inventory: The skill documentation mentions interaction with various APIs (Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, HubSpot) and local file system access for installation.
- Sanitization: None identified for the ingested web content.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation provides instructions for the agent to modify the local environment, including deleting cache directories (
rm -rf ~/.cache/claude/mcp/cogny) and modifying MCP configuration files (.mcp.json).
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cognyai/claude-code-marketing-skills/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
