Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill explicitly directs the agent to bypass sandbox restrictions by re-running commands with "escalated permissions" if it encounters a
runtime_access_deniederror. This encourages the agent to seek higher system privileges (such as sudo or administrator access) to overcome security boundaries. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The instructions mandate that the agent must load a "version-matched guide" at runtime using the command
ORCA skills get orca-cli. This pattern results in the execution of instructions that are not statically defined in the skill, making the agent's behavior unpredictable and difficult to audit. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: By processing the output of the
ORCA skills getcommand as a guide for further actions, the skill creates an injection surface. If the external CLI tool or the data it retrieves is compromised, it can provide malicious instructions that the agent will follow as if they were part of its core logic. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill determines which system binary to execute (
orca,orca-ide, ororca-dev) based on the presence of environment variables likeORCA_CLI_COMMANDandORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, which could be manipulated to redirect execution to unauthorized or malicious binaries.
