Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
The required workflow uses `shell_agent` at runtime to extract text from a user-supplied PDF using `pdftotext`/`pdfplumber` (and potentially OCR), meaning the LLM ingests the PDF’s *contents* as free text, which is outsider-authored if the operating user did not author the PDF.
