Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The core functionality of the skill involves downloading and executing logic from remote sources. The
prose runcommand andusestatements are designed to fetch Prose programs from external URLs or thep.prose.mdregistry and execute them within the VM environment. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The
examples/48-habit-miner.proseprogram specifically targets and reads sensitive AI assistant log files from directories such as~/.claude/,~/.cursor/,~/.copilot/, and~/.aider/. This information is then processed by agents to extract user patterns and generate new automation code. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Multiple programs throughout the skill (e.g.,
holon.prose,the-forge.prose,sentinel.prose) require and utilize unrestricted bash access (bash: allow). These programs execute shell commands for package management (npm install), project builds (cargo build), and system interaction (docker run,curl). - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The scripts in the
common/directory (e.g.,beacon.prose,publisher.prose) solicit and process user credentials (email and password) for interaction with theapi-v2.prose.mdservice. Additionally,state/postgres.mdexplicitly states that PostgreSQL connection strings containing credentials are visible to subagent sessions and may be logged. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill facilitates downloading external dependencies at runtime, such as the
wsnpm package inholon.proseand various program specifications from GitHub in theworkflow-crystallizer.prose. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exhibits a significant surface for indirect prompt injection. Programs like
pr-review-autofix.prose,skill-scan.prose, andhabit-miner.proseingest untrusted data (code diffs, third-party skill files, and conversation logs) and interpolate them directly into agent prompts without sanitization or clear boundary markers. This data ingestion is coupled with high-privilege capabilities like shell access and file writing.
