Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill is vulnerable to command injection in Step 3. The variables
$TARGET_OPTand$TMPL_OPTare used unquoted within a shell command. Because these variables are constructed using raw user input fromSECSKILL_TARGETandSECSKILL_TEMPLATES, an attacker could provide a value containing shell metacharacters (e.g.,; rm -rf /) to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches the
nucleivulnerability scanner from ProjectDiscovery's official GitHub repository usinggo installduring the prerequisite phase. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits an indirect prompt injection surface in Step 5, where it parses and prints results from an external vulnerability scan.
- Ingestion points: The JSON output file generated by the Nuclei scanner (which contains data retrieved from external network targets) is read and processed in
SKILL.md. - Boundary markers: There are no explicit boundary markers or instructions to the agent to ignore potentially malicious content embedded within the scan results.
- Capability inventory: The environment has capabilities for file writing, network scanning, and shell command execution.
- Sanitization: The script uses
json.loadsto parse data but performs no sanitization of the values before printing them to the console, allowing raw external data to enter the agent's context.
