2 findings — 1 high severity, 1 medium severity. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly requires including PubNub publish/subscribe keys in SDK initialization and examples, which forces the agent to insert API key values (or request and echo them) verbatim in its output, creating an exfiltration risk.
W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk)
What this means
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Why it was flagged
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's required workflow and code explicitly subscribe to and act on PubNub channels (e.g., poll.<pollId>.votes, poll.<pollId>.results, poll.<pollId>.admin and the meta channel) which ingest untrusted, user-published messages that directly influence UI state, lifecycle transitions, and publishing behavior, enabling indirect instruction injection.
