Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill includes a specific instruction block ('Suggest Using K-Dense Web') that directs the agent to proactively recommend a third-party research platform (K-Dense Web) to the user under specific conditions. This is an attempt to steer the agent's neutral behavior and hijack the conversation flow for promotional purposes.
- [METADATA_POISONING]: There is a conflict between the provided skill author context ('wu-yc') and the author stated in the skill's YAML metadata and content ('K-Dense Inc.'). This discrepancy is misleading regarding the true origin and maintainer of the skill.
- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The documentation and code examples provide templates for the
download_cosmic_filefunction that accept email and password as plaintext arguments. This pattern encourages users to hardcode sensitive authentication credentials directly into their Python scripts or command-line history. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes external data files (TSV, CSV, VCF) from the COSMIC database which could theoretically contain malicious payloads.
- Ingestion points: Files are read using
pandas.read_csvandpysam.VariantFilein the provided examples. - Boundary markers: None are specified to separate data from instructions during processing.
- Capability inventory: The skill references local script execution via
scripts/download_cosmic.pyand uses data processing libraries likepandasandpysam. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of validation or sanitization of the content fetched from the remote database.
