Risk Level: HIGHPROMPT_INJECTIONEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADSCREDENTIALS_UNSAFE
Full Analysis
- PROMPT_INJECTION (HIGH): The skill exhibits a significant indirect prompt injection surface by processing external, untrusted content to drive its code generation capabilities.
- Ingestion points: The agent reads
references/llms-full.txt,references/llms.txt, andreferences/get-started-python.md, which are updated via a script fetching data from the internet. - Boundary markers: Absent. The agent is instructed to treat these files as authoritative sources for implementation and architecture without delimiters or 'ignore embedded instructions' warnings.
- Capability inventory: The skill has high-privilege 'Code Implementation' and 'Architecture Design' capabilities, meaning injected instructions in documentation could lead to the generation of malicious code or backdoors.
- Sanitization: Absent. The skill does not validate or sanitize the external content before interpolating it into its reasoning cycle.
- EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS (LOW): The
scripts/update-references.shscript performs remote downloads usingcurlto overwrite local reference files. - Evidence:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/adk-python/...andcurl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/adk-docs/.... - Trust Evaluation: The source organization (
google) is a Trusted External Source, downgrading the severity of the download itself to LOW per [TRUST-SCOPE-RULE]. - CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE (LOW): Both the skill instructions and the 'Getting Started' guide encourage users to store sensitive API keys and project IDs in
.envfiles and environment variables. - Evidence: Instructions in
SKILL.mdforexport GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECTand command inget-started-python.mdtoecho 'GOOGLE_API_KEY=...' > .env. - Risk: While standard for local development, this introduces a risk of accidental credential exposure if the
.envfile is improperly managed or committed to version control.
