Risk Level: CRITICALREMOTE_CODE_EXECUTIONEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADSCOMMAND_EXECUTION
Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION] (CRITICAL): The skill instructs the execution of unverified remote scripts using the piped-to-shell pattern.
- Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | shinSKILL.md. - Context: The domain
inference.shis not on the trusted sources list. Piping remote content directly to a shell allows for arbitrary command execution on the host system without prior inspection. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS] (HIGH): The skill downloads and executes packages from untrusted sources at runtime.
- Evidence:
npx skills add inference-sh/skills@web-searchandnpx skills add inference-sh/skills@prompt-engineering. - Context: Using
npxto fetch and execute packages from untrusted organizations (inference-sh) bypasses standard security reviews and introduces supply chain risks. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION] (MEDIUM): The skill utilizes dynamic execution of Python code passed as a string.
- Evidence: The
infsh/python-executorblock inSKILL.mdpasses a string containing Python logic (matplotlib) directly to a tool. - Context: While the code provided is for visualization, the pattern of executing arbitrary code strings via a CLI tool represents a risk if user input is ever interpolated into those strings.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION] (LOW): The skill has an attack surface for indirect prompt injection via search tool outputs.
- Evidence Chain:
- Ingestion points:
tavily/search-assistantandexa/searchtools ingest untrusted content from the web into the agent context. - Boundary markers: Absent. There are no delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands in the tool output.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the
Bash(infsh *)capability which can modify the system or communicate with external APIs. - Sanitization: Absent. No filtering or validation of search results is performed before they are used to generate content.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://cli.inference.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
