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 using WebFetch and WebSearch tools. 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-analysis commands in SKILL.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
