Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructions in
SKILL.mdexplicitly direct the user or agent to install thecuaCLI tool by downloading a script fromhttps://cua.ai/install.shand piping it into the shell (sh). This method of execution allows for unverified remote code to run on the host system, a high-risk pattern flagged by automated scanners. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The
cua do shellcommand, documented inreferences/command-reference.md, allows the agent to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target machine. While intended for automation, this capability provides a broad attack surface for unauthorized system modification or data access if the agent's instructions are manipulated. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill uses an AI-powered
snapshottool to interpret visual data from the screen. This creates a vulnerability where malicious text or instructions displayed on a user's screen or a web page could be ingested as instructions by the agent. - Ingestion points: Screen captures and AI-generated element summaries generated via
cua do snapshotinSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: None specified in the skill's instructions or command reference to distinguish system instructions from screen content.
- Capability inventory: Extensive system control including shell command execution (
cua do shell), file access (cua do open), and full simulated user input (keyboard and mouse control). - Sanitization: No mechanism is described to sanitize or validate the content extracted from the UI before it influences the agent's logic.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://cua.ai/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
