Risk Level: MEDIUMPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
  • [Indirect Prompt Injection] (MEDIUM): The skill is designed to ingest and analyze untrusted external content (source code files) via tools like Grep and Read. This creates a surface where an attacker can embed malicious instructions in code comments to manipulate the agent's analysis report.
  • Ingestion points: Steps 1-3 use shell commands to read all files (**/*).
  • Boundary markers: Absent. The instructions do not define delimiters for untrusted content.
  • Capability inventory: The skill generates a structured 'Pattern Detection Report' and categorizes findings.
  • Sanitization: Absent. The skill does not escape or filter external code content before processing.
  • [Metadata Poisoning] (MEDIUM): The skill metadata claims to perform 'AST analysis', yet the provided instructions and implementation logic rely solely on line-based regex (grep) and standard Python string/regex operations. This discrepancy is misleading regarding the skill's actual security depth.
  • [Data Exposure] (LOW): The skill's intended purpose is to identify sensitive data like AWS keys and passwords (Step 2). While this is a security feature, it increases the risk of sensitive data exposure if the agent's output is directed to insecure channels or logs.
