Installing another executable Skill is unrelated to the minimum capability required to analyze poultry footage. Although the installation text is embedded locally, the remote service controls when this branch is activated and also controls `response_text0`, which is appended without filtering. This makes the response path capable of changing the Agent's immediate objective from performing an analysis to acquiring and executing another component. ### Attack Path 1. The user invokes video analysis or report retrieval. 2. The Skill sends the request to the configured remote service. 3. The service, or an attacker able to manipulate an insecure connection, returns HTTP 402. 4. The Skill returns installation and recharge instructions instead of a structured billing error. 5. The Agent or user follows those instructions and installs the unaudited `smyx-payment` Skill. 6. The newly installed compo ...[truncated 510 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions - Replace the installation instructions with a neutral, structured billing error such as `{"error": "payment_required"}`. - Never instruct an Agent to install another Skill as part of HTTP error handling. - Do not append untrusted remote response bodies to action-oriented instructions. - Require a separate, explicit, user-confirmed workflow for installing any additional component. - Maintain an allowlist and independent security review process for optional integrations. - Ensure HTTP status codes cannot modify the Agent's goals or invoke software-acquisition behavior.
