Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTIONCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted full-text content from external biology preprints. This data is ingested into the agent's context and could contain malicious instructions designed to subvert the agent's behavior.
- Ingestion points: Search results retrieved from the Valyu API search endpoint in
scripts/search.mjs. - Boundary markers: The results are structured in JSON, but the skill lacks explicit delimitation or instructions for the agent to ignore embedded commands within the retrieved preprint text.
- Capability inventory: The skill possesses network access via
fetch()and file system write access to the user's home directory (specifically~/.valyu/config.json). - Sanitization: No filtering or sanitization is applied to the retrieved preprint content before it is returned to the agent.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documentation instructs the agent to execute a local shell script (
scripts/search) to perform searches and handle API configuration. - Evidence: The
SKILL.mdfile contains several examples of bash commands and specific instructions for the agent to run the script to interact with the service and save user-provided API keys.
