Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill's instructions explicitly tell the agent to "re-run it with escalated permissions" if its connection is blocked by a sandbox (identified by a
runtime_access_deniederror). This encourages the agent to seek higher system privileges to bypass established security boundaries. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill implements a mechanism to load instructions at runtime from an external source.
- Ingestion points: The agent is instructed to run
ORCA skills get orca-clito load a "version-matched guide" which then dictates subsequent actions. - Boundary markers: The skill provides no delimiters or instructions for the agent to ignore potentially malicious or contradictory commands contained within the fetched guide.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the capability to execute shell commands and interact with the local filesystem through the resolved
orcaexecutable. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of validation or sanitization of the content returned by the CLI before it is processed as instructions by the agent.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses dynamic logic to resolve which binary to execute (
orca,orca-dev, ororca-ide) based on environment variables likeORCA_CLI_COMMANDor local repository states. This allows for the execution of different binaries depending on the environment, which could be manipulated to point to malicious executables.
