Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The installation instructions for the skill utilize dangerous patterns such as
curl | shandirm | iex. These commands download and execute scripts directly from the vendor's servers (app.getdot.aiandeu.getdot.ai) to install the CLI component. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The
install.shscript downloads the compileddotCLI binary from the vendor's GitHub repository. Additionally, the skill's core logic insrc/ask.mjsdownloads chart images and data files (PNG and CSV) from the vendor's API to the user's local temporary directory. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The
install.shscript contains logic to usesudofor installing the binary into protected system directories like/usr/local/binif the current user lacks the necessary write permissions. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing shell commands via the
dotCLI to communicate with the data analyst service, manage workspace notes, and handle data catalog operations. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests data from the external Dot API, which includes natural language explanations and SQL results. This creates a surface for indirect prompt injection if the server-provided content were to contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: Data is received via the
/api/agenticendpoint and processed for terminal output insrc/ask.mjsandsrc/catalog.mjs. - Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or instructions to ignore embedded commands are present in the prompt templates used to interpolate API results.
- Capability inventory: The skill can execute arbitrary shell commands via the
dotCLI, write to the local file system (cache and temp files), and perform network operations. - Sanitization: Identifiers like
chat_idare sanitized to prevent path traversal during file downloads, but the textual content of the analysis is presented without specific filtering or sanitization.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://app.getdot.ai/install, https://app.getdot.ai/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
