Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The preflight script in
SKILL.mdautomatically installs theagent-reachCLI from a remote GitHub archive (https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip) usingpipxif it is not detected on the system. It also performs automated upgrades, which allows for remote code updates from an untrusted third-party source. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill downloads and installs several dependencies from unverified sources, including a Weibo MCP server directly from a git repository (
https://github.com/Panniantong/mcp-server-weibo.git) and multiple CLI tools viapipx(xiaohongshu-cli,twitter-cli,bilibili-cli,rdt-cli). - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill provides instructions and commands for the agent to manage sensitive authentication data, including Twitter cookies and Groq API keys. Most notably, it includes a command to extract all cookies from the user's browser (
agent-reach configure --from-browser chrome), presenting a high risk of unauthorized access to sensitive account information. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The preflight script in
SKILL.mdfetches version data from the GitHub API and pipes it directly into apython3command for parsing. While specific to JSON parsing, piping remote content into an interpreter is a risky execution pattern. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's primary function is to read and process data from untrusted external platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, and various web articles.
- Ingestion points: External data enters the agent context through
xhs search,rdt read,yt-dlp,jina.ai, and various platform-specific MCP tool calls. - Boundary markers: There are no instructions provided to the agent to treat fetched content as untrusted or to ignore instructions embedded within the data.
- Capability inventory: The agent possesses
Bash,Write, andEditcapabilities, which could be exploited if malicious instructions are processed from a web page or social media post. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation of the external content before it is interpolated into the agent's context.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://api.github.com/repos/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/releases/latest - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
