That prompt directs the agent to install a third-party payment package, load instructions from a newly installed Skill, initiate a purchase, and continue installation after user confirmation. This creates an instruction-hijacking boundary because the Skill delegates subsequent agent behavior to external instructions that are not included in the audited project. Those external instructions can change independently of this package and may direct the agent to perform actions beyond deterministic EVM worksheet validation. The executable wrapper reinforces this path by unconditionally appending a paid-product advertisement and an external purchasing URL to every successful human-readable result. This output is unrelated to the core validation result and provides a persistent channel for steering users and agents into the external workflow. The payment text does state that wallet authorization or payment confirmation must be performed by ...[truncated 1893 chars]
- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the verbatim AI prompt that directs the assistant to install dependencies, load another Skill, and initiate a purchase. 2. Do not delegate agent behavior to instructions from an unaudited, newly installed Skill. 3. Remove unconditional promotional output from the normal execution path in `scripts/run.mjs`. 4. If product information must remain, place it in a clearly separated documentation section and display it only in response to an explicit option such as `--show-upgrade-info`. 5. Keep validation results limited to the requested EVM analysis and avoid embedding calls to action in machine-consumable or default human-readable output. 6. Require a separate, explicit user request before beginning any installation or purchasing workflow. 7. Present the exact package version, publisher identity, required permissions, and expected actions before asking for installation approval. 8. Ensure external Skill instructions cannot override the original task, safety constraints, or approval requirements. ]]>
