| CRITICAL | Arbitrary Command Execution via eval and source The skill uses `eval` and `source` with the output of external binaries (`gstack-slug` and `gstack-repo-mode`). If these binaries are compromised or their output can be manipulated (e.g., through environment variables or untrusted file content), an attacker could inject and execute arbitrary shell commands on the host system. This is a direct command injection vulnerability. Avoid using `eval` and `source` with untrusted or potentially manipulable input. If the output of these binaries is intended to set environment variables, consider parsing their output more safely (e.g., using `read` with specific variable assignments) or redesigning the mechanism to avoid direct execution of arbitrary shell code. | LLM | SKILL.md:59 | |
| CRITICAL | Arbitrary Command Execution via eval and source (gstack-repo-mode) Similar to the `gstack-slug` vulnerability, the skill uses `source` with the output of the `gstack-repo-mode` binary. This allows for arbitrary command execution if the output of `gstack-repo-mode` can be controlled by an attacker or is compromised. This is a direct command injection vulnerability. Avoid using `eval` and `source` with untrusted or potentially manipulable input. If the output of these binaries is intended to set environment variables, consider parsing their output more safely (e.g., using `read` with specific variable assignments) or redesigning the mechanism to avoid direct execution of arbitrary shell code. | LLM | SKILL.md:20 | |

| HIGH | Supply Chain Risk via Uncontrolled Binary Output Execution The skill relies on executing the output of internal `gstack` binaries (`gstack-slug`, `gstack-repo-mode`) directly via `eval` and `source`. This introduces a significant supply chain risk. If these `gstack` binaries themselves are compromised (e.g., through a malicious update, a vulnerability in their build process, or a local modification), they could output arbitrary malicious shell commands, which would then be executed by the skill with the permissions of the host LLM agent. This makes the skill highly vulnerable to a compromise of its own dependencies. Implement robust integrity checks for all `gstack` binaries. Avoid direct `eval` or `source` of binary output. Instead, if configuration or variables need to be loaded from these binaries, use safer parsing methods that do not execute arbitrary code. Consider signing binaries and verifying signatures before execution. | LLM | SKILL.md:59 | |
| MEDIUM | Sensitive environment variable access: $HOME Access to sensitive environment variable '$HOME' detected in shell context. Verify this environment variable access is necessary and the value is not exfiltrated. | Static | design-shotgun/SKILL.md:48 | |
| MEDIUM | Telemetry Data Misrepresentation and Potential Exfiltration Risk The skill's telemetry prompt explicitly states: 'No code, file paths, or repo names are ever sent.' However, the skill logs the current repository's basename (`repo`) to a local telemetry file (`~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl`). While the provided code snippet for `gstack-telemetry-log` does not explicitly show this file being sent, logging this information locally contradicts the user-facing privacy promise and creates a potential vector for future or indirect exfiltration if the telemetry system's full implementation reads and transmits this file. Ensure that all telemetry data collection and transmission strictly adhere to the stated privacy policy. If repository names are not to be sent, they should not be logged in any telemetry-related files, even locally. Alternatively, update the telemetry prompt to accurately reflect what data is collected and stored, even if only locally. | LLM | SKILL.md:34 |
