Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill instructs the agent to access a sensitive file path to retrieve configuration data.
- Evidence: The instructions direct the agent to check the
${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.envfile for theOBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATHenvironment variable (SKILL.md). Accessing .env files can expose sensitive secrets or other environment credentials to the model context. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted content from Obsidian notes which could contain malicious instructions designed to manipulate the agent.
- Ingestion points: Note content is ingested via
read_fileand content-basedsearch_filesoperations (SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: The skill instructions lack delimiters or explicit warnings to isolate untrusted note content from system-level instructions.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses file writing (
write_file), file modification (patch), and shell execution (terminal) capabilities. - Sanitization: No specific sanitization or filtering of note content is mentioned before it is processed or used in operations.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill explicitly permits the use of shell commands for path resolution and file operations.
- Evidence: The instructions state that the
terminaltool is acceptable for resolving environment variables or performing file appends when standard file tools are not applicable (SKILL.md).
