Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill downloads and executes scripts from the author's GitHub repository using
curl | bashandcurl | sh. This pattern is inherently risky as it allows for arbitrary remote code execution without content verification. - Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gupsammy/reddit-cli/main/install.sh | bashinSKILL.md. - Evidence:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gupsammy/brave-cli/main/install.sh | shinSKILL.md. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: User-provided inputs, such as
{TOPIC}and{VIDEO_URL}, are directly interpolated into bash command strings. This exposes the skill to command injection vulnerabilities if a user provides input with shell metacharacters. - Evidence:
reddit-cli search "{TOPIC}"andbrave-cli search "{TOPIC}"inSKILL.md. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill checks the local
~/.secretsfile for the presence of an API key. Accessing files used for sensitive credential storage is a security concern. - Evidence:
grep -q "BRAVE_API_KEY" ~/.secretsinSKILL.md. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill initiates external downloads of binary installer scripts to set up the environment.
- Evidence: Installation instructions and scripts fetched from
raw.githubusercontent.com. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes data from various untrusted platforms (Reddit, X, YouTube) and processes it without sanitization or clear boundary delimiters, creating a risk for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points:
reddit-cli,bird, and YouTube transcripts. - Boundary markers: None present.
- Capability inventory: Extensive command-line tool usage via shell execution.
- Sanitization: No input validation or output filtering observed.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gupsammy/reddit-cli/main/install.sh, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gupsammy/brave-cli/main/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
