Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill invokes a local Python script located at ~/.claude/skills/fetch4ai/scripts/fetch4ai.py to perform advanced web content extraction.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill performs legitimate network operations to fetch data from external URLs using fetch_url, fetch4ai, and web_search for research purposes.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is vulnerable to indirect prompt injection because it ingests untrusted data from external websites that could contain malicious instructions designed to influence the agent's behavior during synthesis.
  • Ingestion points: Data is retrieved from the web via fetch_url, fetch4ai, and web_search (by subagents) and stored in files like research_[topic_name]/findings_*.md (SKILL.md).
  • Boundary markers: The instructions lack explicit boundary markers or directives for the agent to ignore instructions embedded within the research findings.
  • Capability inventory: The agent possesses the ability to write_file, read_file, list_files, spawn subagents via task, and execute local Python scripts (SKILL.md).
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation performed on the external content before it is read and processed by the main agent.
