Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches and installs a binary from an external GitHub repository (
github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli) using thego installcommand, which constitutes an unverified third-party dependency. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes shell commands using the
thingsCLI to interact with the local Things 3 database. It also requires the user to grant 'Full Disk Access' to the application on macOS, which is an elevated permission requirement. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill accesses the local Things 3 SQLite database to read personal task information and requires an authentication token (
THINGS_AUTH_TOKEN) for write operations. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because it ingests untrusted data from the local database that could contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: Reads task titles, notes, and project details via
things inbox,things today, andthings searchcommands inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: No delimiters or instructions are provided to the agent to ignore potentially malicious content within the retrieved tasks.
- Capability inventory: The skill can execute shell commands and modify local application data via the
thingsCLI. - Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization or validation of the data retrieved from the Things 3 database.
