Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill executes npx -y rss-agent-viewer, which downloads and runs code from the npm registry. This package is maintained by an unverified third-party account (brooksy4503) rather than the skill author or a trusted vendor.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on the rss-viewer command to perform network operations, file system access for configuration, and local database management.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and process content from external RSS/Atom feeds and web searches, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection.
  • Ingestion points: Data enters the system via rss-viewer read and rss-viewer discover-search commands.
  • Boundary markers: There are no specified delimiters or instructions to prevent the agent from obeying commands embedded in the retrieved content.
  • Capability inventory: The skill can execute subprocesses and make arbitrary network requests to fetch feed data.
  • Sanitization: No evidence of input sanitization or instruction filtering is provided for the fetched external content.
