Full Analysis
- [METADATA_POISONING]: The skill provides deceptive instructions by claiming a non-existent version of Next.js ("Next.js 16") deprecates the standard
middleware.tsfile in favor ofproxy.ts. In the Next.js framework, middleware is only recognized and executed if namedmiddleware.ts(or.js). Following this advice would lead a developer to unknowingly disable all route protection and authentication checks, as the framework would ignore the renamed file. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's primary function is to scan and "validate" a project's codebase. By incorporating these deceptive patterns into its validation logic, it creates a vulnerability surface where the AI agent would falsely report a broken configuration as "GOOD" and a secure configuration as "DEPRECATED", leading to the removal of critical security controls.
- Ingestion points: Analyzes and processes files from the specified project root directory.
- Boundary markers: None provided to prevent instructions within analyzed code from influencing the agent's summary.
- Capability inventory: Performs file system scanning, generates reports, and provides configuration recommendations.
- Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization for the content of the project files being processed.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructions recommend the execution of a local Python script (
scripts/validate.py) to perform validation. Executing unverified scripts based on instructions that contain known deceptive security advice presents a risk of local code execution.
