Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill installs the
shodanlibrary viapipand interacts with the well-knownapi.shodan.ioservice to retrieve host data, search results, and statistics. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Includes instructions for initializing the Shodan CLI with
shodan initand usessudo pacmanfor system package installation on specific distributions. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data from external sources, creating an indirect prompt injection surface.
- Ingestion points: Service banners, HTTP titles, and HTML content retrieved from the Shodan API (
SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: The skill includes a mandatory confirmation gate for user authorization, but does not implement specific delimiters to separate untrusted banner data from the agent's internal prompt instructions.
- Capability inventory: CLI command execution, network requests, and local file writing (
shodan download,shodan parse). - Sanitization: No explicit sanitization, filtering, or escaping of ingested banner content is implemented before processing.
