Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill reads untrusted external data (academic papers) without appropriate boundary markers or sanitization, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection.\n
- Ingestion points: Paper content is read in
SKILL.mdviapdfplumberandread_latex_file.\n - Boundary markers: None identified in instructions to separate user data from system instructions.\n
- Capability inventory: The skill has file-writing capabilities for generating review reports.\n
- Sanitization: No text sanitization or instruction-filtering is mentioned before the LLM analyzes the paper.\n- [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The recursive logic provided for reading LaTeX files in
SKILL.mdis susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Specifically, theread_latex_filefunction follows\\inputand\\includecommands without cycle detection, allowing circular references to exhaust system resources.\n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The implementation guidance for LaTeX processing contains a path traversal vulnerability. The code usesos.path.join(os.path.dirname(filepath), inc)whereincis extracted directly from the file content via regex. An attacker could craft a paper that references files outside the workspace (e.g.,\\input{/etc/passwd}or\\input{../.env}) which the agent might then read.
