Risk Level: MEDIUMDATA_EXFILTRATIONPROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill is configured to read highly sensitive file paths including
~/.aws/credentials,~/.ssh/id_rsa, and various environment files to detect exposed secrets. This behavior is the stated purpose of the tool but represents significant data exposure. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: To mitigate risks, the skill mandates truncating discovered secrets in the output using block characters (e.g.,
████████). - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The metadata field
lastAuditedcontains a future date ("2026-02-01"), which is deceptive regarding the skill's actual safety review status. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill reads untrusted data from the local workspace, creating an indirect prompt injection surface where malicious instructions in scanned files could influence the agent. 1. Ingestion points: Files in the workspace and home directory (e.g.,
.env,.ssh/config) as defined inSKILL.md. 2. Boundary markers: Absent; no delimiters are specified for separating file content from agent instructions. 3. Capability inventory: Limited tofileReadpermission; no network or shell access is defined inSKILL.md. 4. Sanitization: Output truncation is required for discovered secrets, but no sanitization for general file content is specified.
