Full Analysis
- [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill generates shell scripts (
eval/eval.sh,prepare.sh) and then executes them at runtime during the 'Test & Iterate' phase (Phase 5). This constitutes script generation followed by execution, which is a potential risk if the generated content is influenced by malicious input. - Evidence:
bash eval/eval.shandtest -f prepare.sh && bash prepare.shin Phase 5. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses shell commands to interact with the local file system and external services, including repository initialization and task management tools.
- Evidence: Usage of
git,gh(GitHub CLI), andhiveCLI commands in Phase 6. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill prompts the user to provide a sensitive admin key and reads from an environment variable (
HIVE_ADMIN_KEY) to perform administrative actions on an external server. - Evidence: Instructions in Phase 6.3b to read
HIVE_ADMIN_KEYor prompt the user for an admin key to be used in thehive task createcommand. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates a instruction set (
program.md) that will be interpreted by other agents. This creates a vulnerability surface where malicious user input provided during the design phase can be embedded as instructions for subsequent agents. - Ingestion points: Phase 1 (Problem definition, artifact description, task data).
- Boundary markers: Absent. The
program.mdtemplate does not include specific safety boundaries for the generated content. - Capability inventory: The skill has full file-write capabilities and shell execution via
bash. - Sanitization: Absent. The skill interpolates user-provided strings directly into the markdown and script templates.
