Risk Level: MEDIUMCOMMAND_EXECUTIONDATA_EXFILTRATIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill captures full-screen desktop screenshots and transmits them to Anthropic's cloud-based API. This behavior exposes any sensitive information visible on the screen, such as private documents, credentials, or open chat windows, to an external service.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill dynamically executes system commands via
subprocess.runusing inputs provided by the AI model. It utilizes tools likecliclickandosascripton macOS to perform actions like typing and clicking, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands if the model is misled. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is highly susceptible to indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: Desktop screenshots are captured in the
screenshot()(macOS) andscreenshot_win()(Windows) functions. - Boundary markers: None. The model processes the raw visual data of the entire screen without any markers to distinguish between system UI and potentially malicious content displayed on the screen.
- Capability inventory: The skill has extensive local capabilities, including executing subprocesses (
cliclick,osascript) and full keyboard/mouse control viapyautogui. - Sanitization: There is no sanitization or validation of the action inputs (like
textorkey) received from the model before they are executed at the system level.
