Nano Banana Pro Prompts Recommend

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 11, 2026 · 1:53 AM UTC
• Version: 1.5.9

Overview

This is a real image-prompt recommendation skill, but it requires automatic network updates and shell-based remote media handling that can persist unverified remote data locally.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent running Node and network requests for this skill, downloading prompt data from a mutable GitHub branch, writing files into the skill directory, and fetching remote sample images. Prefer disabling silent auto-update/media-send behavior or using a version that validates manifest paths, pins or verifies downloaded data, and lets users opt out of promotional attribution links.

A.I.G

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:126
• Finding: Mandatory Promotional Instructions Hijack Agent Responses< 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=nano-banana-pro-prompts-recommend) ❤️` This footer is **mandatory** — one line, every response, including no-match fallbacks and custom remixes. ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill unconditionally directs the agent to append a promotional third-party link to every prompt-related response, including responses containing AI-generated content that did not originate from the advertised library. This is not necessary to search or customize image-generation prompts. The `ALWAYS` and `mandatory` directives override the agent's normal discretion and the user's requested output format. The behavior therefore crosses from ordinary attribution into persistent manipulation of agent output. The link includes campaign tracking metadata: ```text utm_source=nano-banana-pro-prompts-recommend ``` Following the link causes the user's browser to contact YouMind, disclosing ordinary web-request metadata such as the user's IP address, browser headers, and potentially referrer information. The repository does not demonstrate transmission of credentials, API keys, pasted article content, or other user-provided sensitive text through this link; the privacy impact is limited to interaction and web-request metadata unless the user subsequently submits information to the site. ### Attack Path 1.

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make attribution informational and conditional rather than mandatory. 2. Do not inject promotional links into no-match responses or prompts generated independently of the library. 3. Honor user and host-platform output-format requirements, including requests to omit links or promotional material. 4. Remove campaign-tracking parameters unless users explicitly consent to them. 5. Clearly distinguish provenance attribution from advertising. 6. Prefer neutral attribution such as: ```markdown Source: YouMind community prompt library. ``` 7. Add a documented configuration option allowing operators to disable external links and attribution footers. ]]>

• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Accept only strict basename-style JSON filenames: ```javascript import { basename, resolve, sep } from 'path'; function validateCategoryFile(value) { if (typeof value !== 'string') { throw new Error('Category filename must be a string'); } if (value !== basename(value) || !/^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9._-]*\.json$/i.test(value)) { throw new Error(`Invalid category filename: ${value}`); } return value; } ``` 2. Resolve the destination and verify that it remains inside the intended directory: ```javascript const safeFile = validateCategoryFile(cat.file); const root = resolve(refsDir); const dest = resolve(root, safeFile); if (!dest.startsWith(root + sep)) { throw new Error(`Destination escapes references directory: ${safeFile}`); } ``` 3. Apply the same validation before constructing the remote URL. 4. Reject absolute paths, path separators, percent-encoded separators, `.` segments, and `..` segments. 5. Refuse to write through symbolic links. Use `lstat`, safe file-opening flags, and an atomic temporary-file-plus-rename workflow. 6. Validate manifest structure with a strict schema before using it. 7. Pin downloads to an immutable commit hash or signed release rather than a mutable `main` branch. 8. Publish trusted hashes for the manifest and category files, then verify them before writing. 9. Download into a staging directory, validate every file as JSON, and only then atomically replace the existing reference set. 10. Do not preserve or trust a remotely obtained manifest indefinitely without authenticity verification. ]]>

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The skill requires the agent to run shell and network commands on every invocation via `node .../setup.js --check`, with silent pulling of remote data when stale. For a recommendation skill, this is unnecessary privilege expansion and creates a reliable execution path for remote content retrieval, potentially exposing the environment to supply-chain manipulation or unreviewed code/data paths.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The skill mandates downloading externally hosted sample images and sending them through platform message tools, including use of shell commands like `curl`. This materially broadens capability beyond recommending prompts into fetching and relaying untrusted remote content, which can leak metadata, trigger unsafe content handling, or be repurposed for unauthorized external communication.

Tool Parameter Abuse

High

• Category: Tool Misuse

Content

1. exec: curl -fsSL --retry 2 "{sourceMedia[0]}" -o ~/clawd/tmp_nb_img.jpg
  2. message tool: action=send, channel=telegram, media=~/clawd/tmp_nb_img.jpg
     caption: "[Prompt Title]"  ← plain title only, no \n, no markdown
  3. exec: rm ~/clawd/tmp_nb_img.jpg
  ```

- **Other platforms** (Discord, Slack, web chat, etc.): Send the image URL directly:

• Confidence: 89% confidence
• Finding: The documented workflow instructs use of general shell commands with interpolated remote inputs and file operations (`curl ... {sourceMedia[0]}` then `rm ~/clawd/tmp_nb_img.jpg`). Even if the shown path is constant, encouraging shell-based tool use for untrusted content increases the risk of parameter misuse, unsafe fetches, and command-path abuse in real deployments.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: The usage section says 'Just describe what you need' and includes examples like 'Find me...' and 'I need...' that are generic, everyday phrases rather than narrowly scoped trigger language. Without explicit constraints or negative examples, this can make it unclear when the skill should activate versus when a general assistant response is intended.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The 'Paste your content and ask for a matching illustration' guidance uses broad patterns like article text, scripts, and notes, but does not clearly state what kinds of content are supported or excluded. This ambiguity increases the chance of unintended invocation on arbitrary pasted text.

Lp3

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs the agent to perform network-capable operations such as GitHub syncs and remote image fetches, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope or allowed-tools boundary. That mismatch weakens policy enforcement and can cause hosts to grant broader execution/network behavior than users expect for a prompt-recommendation skill.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 92% confidence
• Finding: The activation criteria are extremely broad and overlap with many normal image-related requests, increasing the chance the skill is invoked in contexts where its side effects—network sync, shell execution, remote image fetching—are unnecessary. Overbroad routing becomes riskier when a skill carries privileged or externally connected behavior.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill’s stated purpose is recommending prompts, but the documentation expands behavior into setup-time downloading of remote reference data. This creates hidden operational side effects and broadens the attack surface from static recommendation into remote content ingestion, which can be abused if upstream data is changed or the user did not consent to network activity.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The skill directs the agent to perform automatic network freshness checks and silent updates without a user-facing warning at the time of use. Hidden network actions undermine informed consent and can expose user sessions or host environments to external dependencies unexpectedly.

Rp1

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The generate script invokes `npx tsx`, which can resolve and execute a package version outside the repository’s lockfile-controlled dependency flow if the environment lacks a matching local install or allows remote resolution. In a skill ecosystem where install/setup scripts may be run automatically, this increases supply-chain risk because an unexpected or compromised package version could be fetched and executed.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The heading labels Step 5 as 'Content Illustration Mode Only', but the very next lines say to proceed whenever any user selects a prompt and that the step applies to all users. That is an explicit contradiction in the documentation about when remix behavior should occur.

Vague Triggers

Low

• Confidence: 81% confidence
• Finding: This manifest description says the skill 'works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor and more,' but does not specify how or when the skill should be invoked within those environments. For a manifest file, this broad phrasing can create ambiguity about trigger scope and activation context.
