Indirect Prompt Injection Defense

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

Prompt-injection indicators were detected in the submitted artifacts (ignore-previous-instructions); human review is required before treating this skill as clean.

This skill looks safe to use as a defensive checklist and optional local analyzer. Expect it to contain many dangerous-looking phrases because those are examples and test cases. If you run the bundled scripts, use only selected files or inputs and review the installed script source first, especially because the registry metadata does not provide an external source link. ClawScan detected prompt-injection indicators (ignore-previous-instructions), so this skill requires review even though the model response was benign.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

Static scanners and users may notice dangerous-looking instructions, but the artifacts use them as examples for detection.

Why it was flagged

Literal goal-hijack phrases are included, but they are presented as examples in a detection checklist and paired with instructions to treat external content as untrusted data.

Skill content
Content that addresses you directly as an AI/assistant:
- "Ignore previous instructions..."
Recommendation

Keep these strings framed as quoted examples or test data, and do not treat them as operational instructions.

What this means

Running the optional scripts will execute local code and may read the specific file or input you provide.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents local Python script execution for automated scanning and tests. This is user-directed and central to the stated purpose, not automatic execution.

Skill content
python scripts/sanitize.py --file document.md

# Run the test suite
python scripts/run_tests.py
Recommendation

Run the scripts only on files you choose, and review the bundled code if you plan to use it in automation or CI.

What this means

Users have less external context for who maintains the skill or where to audit its history.

Why it was flagged

The artifacts do not provide an external source repository or homepage, which limits provenance assurance, although no remote installer or dependency-fetching behavior is shown.

Recommendation

If you intend to rely on the optional scripts, inspect the bundled files from the installed package before running them.
