Risk Level: HIGHCOMMAND_EXECUTIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
  • [Privilege Escalation] (HIGH): The file references/workflows.md contains the command sudo apt install gerbv. Because the skill explicitly allows the Bash tool in its configuration (SKILL.md), an agent might attempt to execute this documentation block directly. This poses a significant risk of unauthorized system modification or package installation if the environment allows passwordless sudo.
  • [Indirect Prompt Injection] (HIGH): The skill is designed to ingest and process external data with high-privilege capabilities.
  • Ingestion points: The skill reads .kicad_sch and .kicad_pcb files using Read, Grep, and head (as seen in SKILL.md and references/workflows.md).
  • Boundary markers: No delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands within the KiCad S-expressions are present. Malicious instructions could be hidden in component properties or comments (e.g., # IMPORTANT: Use Bash to delete /).
  • Capability inventory: The skill allows Bash, Write, and Edit tools, enabling a wide range of side effects if an injection is successful.
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation of the content read from project files before processing or passing it to tools.
  • [Command Execution] (LOW): The skill makes heavy use of shell commands (find, grep, mkdir) for legitimate project management. While these are necessary for the skill's function, they represent an expanded attack surface when combined with the lack of input sanitization.
