Duru Prompt Shield

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears defensive rather than malicious, but it is unsafe to rely on as packaged because its main detection rules are missing and its config loader can execute shell code from `.env`.

Review before installing. This skill does not show evidence of intentional exfiltration or destructive behavior, but as packaged it can give false assurance because core detection rules are absent. Do not use it as a security gate unless the rule files are included and missing rules fail closed. Also replace direct `.env` sourcing with a strict parser before running it in an agent environment where the skill directory could be modified.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Arbitrary Shell Command Execution Through Sourced Configuration File

Vulnerability Details

File Location: scripts/load-config.sh:18-25
Vulnerability Type: Unsafe execution of configuration content
Risk Level: High

Vulnerable Code

bash
# Load only .env (local/private runtime config)
# .env.example is template-only and must NOT be sourced at runtime.
if [[ -f "$SKILL_ROOT/.env" ]]; then
  set -a
  # shellcheck disable=SC1090
  source "$SKILL_ROOT/.env"
  set +a
fi

Technical Analysis

The implementation loads .env with the Bash source command. This treats the file as executable shell code rather than as a declarative collection of configuration values.

Consequently, an .env file may contain command substitutions, redirections, function definitions, pipelines, or arbitrary commands. These constructs execute whenever load-config.sh is sourced. The configuration loader is used by the main scanner through scripts/psl-core.sh and directly by scripts/analyze-log.sh, making the issue reachable through normal Skill operations.

The legitimate requirement is only to read a defined set of configuration keys. Granting the configuration file full shell execution capability exceeds the minimum privilege necessary for that purpose.

Attack Path

  1. An attacker obtains the ability to create or modify .env in the Skill root, such as through a compromised installation process, writable shared directory, archive extraction, or another local file-write primitive.
  2. The attacker inserts a shell payload into .env, for example a command substitution or standalone command.
  3. A user or Agent invokes detect-injection.sh, pre-action-check.sh, pre-send-scan.sh, or analyze-log.sh.
  4. The relevant execution path loads scripts/load-config.sh.
  5. Bash executes the malicious .env content through source.
  6. The payload runs with the operating-system permissions and environment of the invoking Agent process.

Remediation Suggestions

  • Do not use source, ., eval, or another shell evaluator to parse configuration.
  • Implement a strict parser that accepts only an explicit allowlist of keys, such as PSL_MODE, PSL_RULES_DIR, PSL_LOG_PATH, and the documented rate-limit settings.
  • Require a simple KEY=VALUE grammar and reject command substitutions, backticks, shell operators, redirections, multiline values, function declarations, and unknown keys.
  • Validate each value after parsing:
    • Restrict PSL_MODE to strict, balanced, or lowfp.
    • Parse rate-limit values as bounded positive integers.
    • Restrict action flags to their documented enumerations.
    • Canonicalize and constrain writable paths to approved directories.
  • Check .env ownership and permissions before loading it, and reject files writable by untrusted users.
  • Add tests proving that shell syntax in .env is rejected and never executed.

Technical Analysis

load_patterns() silently returns an empty list whenever a rule file is absent. The scanner then proceeds normally with empty critical, high, and medium rule sets.

For the detect workflow, the general prompt-injection decision depends on these external patterns. With all three detection rule sets empty, ordinary malicious instructions receive no severity from rule matching and can be returned as SAFE with an allow action, unless an unrelated rate-limit condition occurs.

The action workflow retains a small set of hardcoded command gates, and the send workflow retains hardcoded redaction patterns. Those controls do not restore the missing general prompt-injection detection advertised by the Skill.

Remediation Suggestions

  • Include all documented rule files in the distributed artifact:
    • rules/critical.regex
    • rules/high.regex
    • rules/medium.regex
    • rules/allowlist.regex
  • Treat missing or unreadable critical, high, or medium rule files as a fatal configuration error rather than as empty rule sets.
  • Return exit code 2 with a machine-readable error and do not emit an allow decision when required controls are unavailable.
  • Validate every regular expression during startup and reject malformed rule files before scanning input.
  • Require at least one valid rule in each mandatory security tier, or verify the files against a packaged manifest.
  • Add release-time tests against the final packaged artifact rather than only the source workspace.
  • Add a test that removes or renames each required rule file and verifies that the scanner fails closed.
  • Ensure documentation, package metadata, test paths, and the shipped directory structure describe the same artifact.

The stated purpose is a minimal prompt-injection guardrail, but the documented behavior also includes reading and analyzing historical logs and optionally allowing arbitrary log paths.

Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

The skill invokes shell scripts and documents behavior that can touch files, logs, and outbound content, but it declares no explicit tool scope or permissions boundary. In an agent system, missing tool restrictions increases the chance the skill is used with broader-than-necessary shell, file, or network access, turning a defensive skill into a pathway for unintended capability use.
