Full Analysis
  • [Data Exposure & Exfiltration] (MEDIUM): The StateManager class in scripts/state_manager.py constructs file paths by concatenating a base directory with a user-provided project_id. Because this ID is not sanitized or validated, it is vulnerable to path traversal attacks (e.g., using ../ sequences). This could allow an attacker to read, move, or delete files outside of the intended workspace via functions like read_state() and archive_project() (which uses shutil.rmtree and shutil.move).
  • [Indirect Prompt Injection] (MEDIUM): The skill implements an indirect prompt injection surface (Category 8) by acting as a central state hub for multiple agents. The script reads and writes to state.json, which stores topics, metadata, and phase outputs that are likely consumed by other LLMs in the workflow.
  • Ingestion points: The read_state() method in scripts/state_manager.py ingests JSON data from the local filesystem.
  • Boundary markers: No delimiters or instructions to ignore embedded commands are present in the state management logic.
  • Capability inventory: The script possesses destructive capabilities, including directory removal (shutil.rmtree) and file overwriting (_write_state).
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of content sanitization or validation of the data stored within the state fields (e.g., topic, metadata) before it is used or potentially interpolated into other agents' prompts.
  • [Metadata Poisoning] (LOW): The references/README.md file contains descriptive metadata and author information. While benign in this context, it contributes to the overall surface area for providing misleading information to the agent.
