Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill requires administrative access via the
sudocommand to create symbolic links for the CLI binary in/usr/local/bin. - [UNVERIFIABLE_DEPENDENCIES_AND_REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the installation of software and skills from external, non-trusted repositories using
brew tapandnpx skills add. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The
cmux sendandcmux send-keycommands allow the agent to inject arbitrary shell commands and keystrokes into any managed terminal surface. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The
cmux browser evalcommand facilitates the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code within browser surfaces. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents a significant vulnerability surface for indirect prompt injection:
- Ingestion points: Terminal output is ingested via
cmux read-screenand web content viacmux browser snapshot. - Boundary markers: Absent. There are no instructions or delimiters to isolate untrusted external content.
- Capability inventory: The agent can execute system commands, run JavaScript, and modify configuration files.
- Sanitization: Absent. External content is interpolated into the context without escaping or validation.
- [PERSISTENCE_MECHANISMS]: The
cmux hooks setupcommand facilitates persistent agent integration within user shell environments.
