Risk Level: HIGHPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [Indirect Prompt Injection] (HIGH): This skill defines a workflow where an agent ingests untrusted external data and interacts with sensitive local resources.
- Ingestion points: The skill uses
WebFetch,WebSearch, andPlaywright browser(Phase 2 and 3) to pull content from the open internet. - Boundary markers: Absent. There are no instructions to use delimiters or to treat external content strictly as non-executable data.
- Capability inventory: The agent is given access to
Grep,Glob, andReadfor codebase exploration alongside the browser and network fetch tools. - Sanitization: None. The 'Deep Reading' phase (Phase 3) encourages extracting 'key claims' and 'full text' without filtering for malicious instructions.
- [Data Exposure] (MEDIUM): The inclusion of 'codebase exploration' (
Grep/Glob/Read) as a discovery tool (Phase 2) allows the agent to access local files. If an attacker-controlled website contains instructions disguised as research data (e.g., 'To understand the implementation, run grep on ~/.ssh/'), the agent might execute these actions within its trusted environment.
