Ai Image Prompts

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 11, 2026 · 4:11 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.9

Overview

This prompt-recommendation skill is mostly coherent, but it asks agents to run shell and network update steps against mutable remote data without enough validation or containment.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill contacting GitHub/YouMind, updating local reference files, and downloading preview images. In stricter environments, disable or review the auto-update and shell-download steps first, pin or verify the reference data source, and avoid running the media download commands with untrusted remote URLs.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

T01 · Skill Instruction Hijacking

Warning

• Location: SKILL.md:161
• Finding: Mandatory Promotional Output Injection< 通过公开社区搜集 ❤️` - English (or other) users: `Prompts curated from the open community by [YouMind.com](https://youmind.com?utm_source=ai-image-prompts) ❤️` This footer is **mandatory** — one line, every response, including no-match fallbacks and custom remixes. ``` The requirement is reinforced elsewhere: ```markdown Always end with the attribution footer: ``` ```markdown - Always include the attribution footer — one line, in the user's language ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill requires the Agent to insert a promotional YouMind link into every applicable answer, including custom prompts and no-match responses. This behavior is unrelated to the technical operation of searching and recommending image prompts and overrides the Agent's discretion over its final output. Because the instruction is mandatory and applies even when no library result is used, it exceeds the minimum behavior necessary for the declared prompt-recommendation functionality. The `utm_source` parameter also provides campaign attribution when a user follows the link, although it is not a unique user identifier. This is instruction hijacking because loading the Skill changes the Agent's response policy and requires third-party promotional material to be included independently of user intent. ### Attack Path 1. A user or Agent loads the Skill. 2. The user requests a prompt recommendation, fallback prompt, or customized remix. 3. The Skill directs the Agent to append the prescribed YouMind promotional link. 4. The Agent emits thir ...[truncated 677 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the `ALWAYS` and `mandatory` requirements from the attribution instructions. 2. Include attribution only when presenting content actually obtained from the curated library. 3. Do not require promotional links in AI-generated fallback prompts or unrelated responses. 4. Clearly disclose that the link is promotional and contains a campaign-attribution parameter. 5. Allow the host Agent or user to disable external links and branding. 6. Keep attribution subordinate to system, developer, platform, and user instructions. ]]>

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Validate the manifest against a strict schema before using it. 2. Require every `file` value to be a simple filename: - Reject absolute paths. - Reject `/`, `\`, `..`, null bytes, and encoded traversal. - Require `file === basename(file)`. - Allow only an expected pattern such as `^[a-z0-9-]+\.json$`. 3. Resolve and verify the destination path before writing: ```js import { resolve, sep, basename } from 'path'; const root = resolve(refsDir); if (cat.file !== basename(cat.file) || !/^[a-z0-9-]+\.json$/.test(cat.file)) { throw new Error('Invalid reference filename'); } const dest = resolve(root, cat.file); if (!dest.startsWith(root + sep)) { throw new Error('Reference path escapes destination directory'); } ``` 4. Validate each downloaded category file as JSON and enforce the expected prompt schema before installation. 5. Publish content hashes in a signed manifest and verify them before writing files. 6. Pin updates to a reviewed commit or signed release instead of an unpinned mutable branch. 7. Download to a securely created temporary file, validate it, and atomically rename it into place. 8. Prevent the updater from writing to control-bearing files by running it with a narrowly scoped writable data directory separate from the installed Skill. ]]>

Error

• Location: SKILL.md:247
• Finding: Remote Media URL Is Interpolated into a Shell Command Without Validation<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:247-266` **Vulnerability Type**: Command injection, unrestricted outbound request, and unsafe temporary-file handling **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown **⚠️ MANDATORY: ALWAYS send the sample image for every prompt recommendation.** If `sourceMedia` is empty, skip that prompt. Otherwise, you MUST send the image — never skip this step. **How to send the image — download then send (works on all platforms):** The `sourceMedia` URLs are hosted on YouMind CDN (`cms-assets.youmind.com`). Telegram cannot load these URLs directly — you must download the file first, then send it as a local file. **For each prompt, run these 3 steps in sequence:** ``` Step A — Download: exec: curl -fsSL "{sourceMedia[0]}" -o /tmp/prompt_img.jpg Step B — Send: message tool: action=send, media=/tmp/prompt_img.jpg, caption="[Prompt Title]" Step C — Cleanup: exec: rm /tmp/prompt_img.jpg ``` Do this for **each** of the 3 recommended prompts — one image per prompt. ``` ### Technical Analysis `sourceMedia[0]` originates in prompt JSON downloaded from a mutable external repository. The Skill directs the Agent to substitute this value into a shell command without validating its syntax, scheme, hostname, redirects, or content. Double quotes do not make arbitrary untrusted text safe for shell interpolation. A value containing an embedded double quote can terminate the quoted URL and add shell syntax. If the Agent executes the resulting string through a shell, a crafted value can cause command injection under the Agent user's privileges. The use of `curl -L` also follows redirects without requiring the final destination to remain on `cms-assets.youmind.com`. A compromised prompt record can therefore trigger requests to attacker-selected or internal endpoints. This creates an SSRF-like outbound request capability in environments where the Agent can reach private services. The fixed path `/tmp/prompt_img.jpg ...[truncated 2639 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Do not interpolate remote values into shell command strings. 2. Use a native HTTP client or invoke `curl` with an argument array and shell execution disabled. 3. Parse URLs with a standards-compliant URL parser and enforce: - HTTPS only. - Exact hostname allowlisting, such as `cms-assets.youmind.com`. - No embedded credentials. - Allowed ports only. - Rejection of local, loopback, link-local, and private destinations. 4. Disable redirects or validate every redirect destination against the same allowlist. 5. Use securely generated unique temporary files rather than `/tmp/prompt_img.jpg`. 6. Open temporary files with exclusive creation and restrictive permissions. 7. Place cleanup in a `finally` block and avoid shelling out to `rm`. 8. Enforce download timeouts, maximum response sizes, and expected image MIME types. 9. Verify file signatures and decode the image safely before passing it to the messaging tool. 10. Treat all remote prompt records as untrusted data and validate the complete schema when references are downloaded. ]]>

### Use Case Category Files

• Confidence: 70% confidence
• Finding: Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs the agent to execute shell commands to download arbitrary remote media and remove local files, even though its stated purpose is recommendation. This needlessly grants code-execution and file-system behavior to a content-browsing workflow, increasing the blast radius if URLs, filenames, or instructions are manipulated.

Tool Parameter Abuse

High

• Category: Tool Misuse

Content

message tool: action=send, media=/tmp/prompt_img.jpg, caption="[Prompt Title]"

Step C — Cleanup:
exec: rm /tmp/prompt_img.jpg
```

Do this for **each** of the 3 recommended prompts — one image per prompt.

• Confidence: 93% confidence
• Finding: The skill prescribes a specific destructive shell action (`rm /tmp/prompt_img.jpg`) as part of normal operation. Even though the example path is fixed, embedding file-deletion commands in skill instructions normalizes unnecessary exec usage and can become dangerous if later generalized, templated, or combined with attacker-influenced paths.

• Confidence: 80% confidence
• Finding: YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: The README instructs users to run an unpinned `npx skills` installer, which resolves the latest package version at execution time. If the package, dependency chain, or registry resolution is compromised, users may execute attacker-controlled code during installation.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: This command again uses unversioned `npx skills`, causing users to fetch and execute whatever package version is current at the time. That creates a supply-chain risk because a compromised publish or dependency update could turn the install step into arbitrary code execution.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 89% confidence
• Finding: The README recommends `npx openskills` without pinning a version, which exposes users to the same package-resolution and dependency-substitution risks as other floating `npx` installs. Because `npx` may download and run code immediately, exploitation can directly impact the local developer environment.

Lp3

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The skill performs network-capable actions such as fetching prompt references and remote media, but it does not declare explicit tool scope or allowed tools. This creates a permission-boundary mismatch where a seemingly simple recommender can invoke broader capabilities than users or the host may expect.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 92% confidence
• Finding: The 'Use this skill when users want to' list covers very broad intents such as getting inspiration, creating illustrations, and translating prompt techniques, but it does not define clear limits or non-matching cases. In a markdown skill description, this can cause unintended activation for ordinary creative-assistance requests that may not specifically require this prompt-library skill.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The manifest frames the skill as a prompt recommender, but operational instructions require downloading data from GitHub before use. This expands the trust boundary to remote content and introduces supply-chain and privacy risks that are not obvious from the declared purpose.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The skill mandates silent network updates from GitHub on every run or when stale, without user-facing disclosure or consent. This can surprise users, leak request context through timing and access patterns, and expose the agent to unreviewed upstream content changes.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The instructions direct downloading remote images to local temporary storage and sending them without warning the user. This expands data handling and network activity beyond what a user may reasonably expect from a prompt recommendation skill, and it creates risk from untrusted remote content.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The manifest emphasizes recommending prompts from a curated 10,000+ prompt library. The documented workflow goes beyond recommendation by creating new AI-generated prompts and personalized remixes, which is a materially broader behavior than simply recommending library entries.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: This is a manifest file, so vague-trigger review applies. The description says the skill "Auto-downloads library on install" and broadly claims it works across multiple tools, but it does not specify the exact activation context, scope, or exclusions, which can create ambiguity about when the skill performs actions or is invoked.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: For markdown files this rule checks omitted warnings, and for code files it checks undisclosed operations; in this manifest, the description announces automatic downloading during installation but provides no user warning about network access, data transfer implications, or that installation changes the local environment. Because install-time downloads can affect system integrity and user expectations, a clearer warning is warranted.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 82% confidence
• Finding: The generate script invokes `npx tsx`, which can resolve and execute a package version at runtime rather than strictly using a fully pinned local binary. In environments without a locked local install or with registry tampering, this increases supply-chain risk because code fetched at execution time may differ from what the maintainer reviewed.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

• Confidence: 92% confidence
• Finding: The manifest describes a skill for recommending and browsing curated image-generation prompts, but this script reaches out to GitHub, downloads content, deletes stale local files, and writes reference data to disk. While this may support maintaining the prompt library, it is materially broader than the end-user description of a prompt recommendation skill.

Missing User Warnings

Low

• Confidence: 86% confidence
• Finding: The README states that the skill auto-checks for updates on each use, but it does not clearly disclose the resulting network behavior, what endpoints are contacted, or what data may be transmitted. Undocumented background network access reduces user consent and trust, and could expose metadata or create an unexpected update channel.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The heading narrows Step 5 to content illustration mode only, but the immediately following instructions explicitly broaden it to all users regardless of `contentIllustrationMode`. This is an active contradiction in the documentation about when remixing behavior should occur.
