Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructions promote a dangerous execution pattern by downloading a remote shell script and piping it directly to bash.
- Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yvgude/lean-ctx/main/skills/lean-ctx/scripts/install.sh | bashinSKILL.md. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches resources and installation scripts from a personal GitHub repository that is not associated with a recognized trusted organization.
- Source URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yvgude/lean-ctx/main/. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The tool's primary purpose involves wrapping and executing arbitrary shell commands through its CLI.
- The pattern
lean-ctx -c <command>allows the agent to execute any command in the shell environment to capture and compress output. - [PERSISTENCE_MECHANISMS]: The setup process involves installing shell hooks and global aliases, which modifies the user's shell profile to persist tool functionality across sessions.
- Evidence:
lean-ctx init --globalandlean-ctx setupinstructions. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill creates a surface for indirect prompt injection by ingesting and processing data from untrusted files and command outputs.
- Ingestion points: Data enters the context via
lean-ctx read <file>and the output of commands executed throughlean-ctx -c. - Boundary markers: The skill documentation does not specify the use of clear delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands in the compressed output.
- Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to read arbitrary files and execute shell commands.
- Sanitization: No sanitization or filtering of the ingested content is mentioned.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yvgude/lean-ctx/main/skills/lean-ctx/scripts/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
