| CRITICAL | Command Injection via `source` of external binary output The skill uses `source <(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-repo-mode 2>/dev/null)` which executes the output of the `gstack-repo-mode` binary directly in the current shell context. If an attacker can control the output of `gstack-repo-mode` (e.g., by manipulating its environment, configuration, or by replacing the binary itself), they can execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the skill. Avoid using `source` or `eval` with untrusted or potentially manipulable input. If the output is meant to set environment variables, parse it carefully or use a safer mechanism. Ensure the `gstack-repo-mode` binary and its execution environment are fully secured and untamperable. | LLM | SKILL.md:15 | |
| CRITICAL | Command Injection via `eval` of external binary output The skill uses `eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)"` multiple times. This executes the output of the `gstack-slug` binary directly in the current shell context. If an attacker can control the output of `gstack-slug`, they can execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the skill. This is a direct command injection vulnerability. Avoid using `eval` with untrusted or potentially manipulable input. If the output is meant to set variables, parse it carefully using `read` or other safer methods. Ensure the `gstack-slug` binary and its execution environment are fully secured and untamperable. | LLM | SKILL.md:45 | |

| HIGH | Path Traversal / Data Exfiltration via `SLUG` variable The `SLUG` variable is derived from the output of `gstack-slug` via an `eval` command (a critical command injection risk itself). This `SLUG` is then used to construct file paths, e.g., `_LEARN_FILE="${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack}/projects/${SLUG:-unknown}/learnings.jsonl"` and `touch ~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-${SLUG:-unknown}`. If `SLUG` contains path traversal sequences (e.g., `../`) or other malicious characters, an attacker could manipulate file paths to read, write, or delete arbitrary files outside the intended project directory, leading to data exfiltration or system compromise. Sanitize or validate the `SLUG` variable to ensure it only contains safe characters (e.g., alphanumeric, hyphens) and does not contain path separators or other shell metacharacters before using it in file paths. Alternatively, use a safer method for setting variables than `eval`. | LLM | SKILL.md:46 | |
| HIGH | Data Exfiltration / JSON Injection via unescaped `_BRANCH` in JSON string The `_BRANCH` variable, obtained from `git branch --show-current`, is concatenated into a JSON string without proper escaping: `'{"skill":"land-and-deploy","event":"started","branch":"'"$_BRANCH"'","session":"'"$_SESSION_ID"'"}'`. If `_BRANCH` contains double quotes (`"`) or backslashes (`\`), it could break the JSON structure, leading to malformed data being logged. In a more sophisticated attack, this could be used to inject arbitrary JSON fields or potentially manipulate the interpretation of the log entry by downstream systems, leading to data exfiltration or integrity issues if the `gstack-timeline-log` binary is vulnerable to such input. Ensure all variables interpolated into JSON strings are properly JSON-escaped. For shell scripts, this often requires a dedicated function to escape special characters like `"` and `\`. | LLM | SKILL.md:30 | |
| HIGH | Path Traversal / Data Exfiltration via `_BRANCH` in file path The `_BRANCH` variable is used to construct a file path: `"$_PROJ/${_BRANCH}-reviews.jsonl"`. If `_BRANCH` contains path traversal sequences (e.g., `../`) or other malicious characters, an attacker could manipulate the path to access or create files outside the intended project directory, potentially leading to data exfiltration or integrity issues. Sanitize or validate the `_BRANCH` variable to ensure it only contains safe characters (e.g., alphanumeric, hyphens) and does not contain path separators or other shell metacharacters before using it in file paths. | LLM | SKILL.md:141 | |
| 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 | land-and-deploy/SKILL.md:48 | |
| INFO | Excessive Permissions: Broad Bash and File System Access The skill declares `Bash`, `Read`, and `Write` permissions. While the skill's functionality (e.g., git operations, file management, executing helper binaries) necessitates these, the combination of broad `Bash` execution with `Read` and `Write` access to the filesystem grants significant power. The use of `eval` and `source` (flagged as CRITICAL command injection) further amplifies the risk associated with these broad permissions. Any vulnerability in the skill's logic or its helper binaries could be exploited to perform arbitrary actions on the user's system. Review if all declared permissions are strictly necessary for the skill's core functionality. If possible, narrow the scope of file system access or restrict `Bash` commands to a whitelist. For external binaries, ensure they are sandboxed or have minimal necessary permissions. The primary remediation for this INFO finding is to address the CRITICAL command injection vulnerabilities that leverage these broad permissions. | LLM | Manifest:1 |
