Findings (9)

CRITICAL
Instruction override attempt
L22

Detects attempts to override or ignore previous instructions

IGNORE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS
FIX

Remove the injection payload from the skill definition. Text that attempts to reset agent context or override prior directives is a direct attack vector.

FP?

Likely FP if the text is in a security tutorial or research paper discussing injection techniques as examples, not in an active skill description.

L31

ignore previous instructions

Likely FP if the text is in a security tutorial or research paper discussing injection techniques as examples, not in an active skill description.

CRITICAL
Download-and-execute
L96

Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
FIX

Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.

FP?

Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.

CRITICAL
Curl or wget piped to shell
L96

Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
FIX

Download the script first, inspect it, verify its checksum, then run it. Do not pipe curl/wget output directly to sh/bash. Prefer package manager installs.

FP?

Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L43

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

./scripts/safe-install.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L69

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

./scripts/safe-install.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Shell script file execution
L72

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

./scripts/safe-install.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

LOW
Shell script file execution
L75

Detects execution of shell script files via bash/sh command or direct invocation

./scripts/safe-install.sh
FIX

Replace direct shell script execution with a language-native implementation or a sandboxed executor. If shell scripts must run, restrict them to a vetted allowlist with integrity checks.

FP?

Likely FP if the match references running a script that is part of the skill's own repository (e.g., ./setup.sh) with clear, auditable contents.

LOW
Chained shell command execution
L96

Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
FIX

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

FP?

Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.
