Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the user to download a shell script from a remote URL and pipe it directly into a shell for execution:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The remote script execution for the 'act' tool is performed using
sudo, granting the unverified remote script full administrative access to the system. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill pulls code and installation scripts from external sources, including
githubusercontent.com(nektos/act) andgithub.com(rhysd/actionlint viago install), which are not within the verified trust scope. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill establishes a vulnerability surface by processing repository workflow files using external tools without explicit sanitization or boundary markers.
- Ingestion points: Reads files matching
.github/workflows/*.yml(SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: None identified; tools are run directly on local files.
- Capability inventory: Executes
gh(GitHub CLI),act(Docker-based workflow execution), and various linters (SKILL.md). - Sanitization: None mentioned for the data processed by
actionlintoryamllint.
