Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill recommends installing software using a dangerous pattern that executes a remote script directly in the shell.
- Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsirysndr/otelview/main/install.sh | bashinSKILL.md. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides multiple commands for the agent or user to execute which involve installing global packages and binary tools, posing a risk of arbitrary code execution.
- Evidence:
brew install tsirysndr/tap/otelview,bun install -g otelview, and manual MCP registration commands. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill relies on external, unversioned resources for its core functionality and installation.
- Evidence: References to a shell script on
raw.githubusercontent.comand a custom Homebrew tap. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill provides tools to ingest and display data from external, potentially untrusted sources (logs, traces, and metrics), which could contain malicious payloads.
- Ingestion points: Tools such as
search_logs,search_traces, andinvestigate_traceread data from a telemetry server or database file. - Boundary markers: None present; the skill does not instruct the agent to distinguish between telemetry data and command instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses the ability to execute shell commands and perform network requests to an MCP endpoint.
- Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or filtering applied to the telemetry data before it is presented to the agent.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsirysndr/otelview/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
