Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted data from academic websites such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, and PubMed, as well as text extracted from academic papers.
- Ingestion points: External content is fetched through the
academic_stealth_fetch.shscript, theread_papertool, and Exa search results. - Capability inventory: The skill utilizes shell script execution (
academic_stealth_fetch.sh), network operations (Exa search and Obscura fetching), and file system writes for paper storage (~/.arxiv-papers). - Boundary markers: There are no explicit delimiters or instructions within the skill to isolate or flag potential instructions embedded in the scraped data.
- Sanitization: Data is extracted using JavaScript selectors but is returned to the agent without specific sanitization to filter out malicious prompt content.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes a custom shell script,
academic_stealth_fetch.sh, which triggers theobscuraCLI tool to scrape bot-protected websites. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation provides instructions for installing third-party tools, including
arxiv-mcp-server, via package managers likeuvandnpx. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The web scraping logic employs the
--evalfunctionality of theobscurabrowser to execute JavaScript strings for targeted data extraction from the DOM at runtime.
