Risk Level: HIGHREMOTE_CODE_EXECUTIONEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADSPROMPT_INJECTIONCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill recommends an installation method that executes a remote shell script directly with the user's shell permissions.
- Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bashfound in the installation instructions ofSKILL.md. - This execution pattern is highly risky as the contents of the script are not verified before execution.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill facilitates the download and installation of software from unverified third-party sources.
- Evidence: Suggests installing packages from npm (
@xdevplatform/xurl), Homebrew (xdevplatform/tap/xurl), and GitHub script downloads. - These sources originate from the
xdevplatformorganization which is not recognized as a trusted entity in the analysis environment. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill possesses a significant attack surface for indirect prompt injection due to its data-processing capabilities.
- Ingestion points: The skill ingests untrusted data via
xurl search,xurl timeline,xurl mentions,xurl dms, andxurl readinSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: There are no instructions or delimiters implemented to separate system instructions from the content fetched from the API.
- Capability inventory: The skill provides capabilities to post (
xurl post), delete content (xurl delete), follow users (xurl follow), and send direct messages (xurl dm). - Sanitization: No sanitization or safety-filtering logic is described for handling the text returned from the API calls.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill operates by executing an external CLI tool with various arguments and flags.
- Evidence: Extensive use of the
xurlcommand throughoutSKILL.mdfor both specific social tasks and raw API access.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
