1 medium severity finding. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
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.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The SKILL.md workflow explicitly requires conducting web literature searches and using WebFetch/WebSearch to retrieve PubMed pages, preprints, and other web sources ("Use WebFetch with PubMed URLs" and "Use WebSearch to find recent papers, preprints, and reviews"), so the agent will fetch and interpret open/public third‑party content that can influence its hypotheses and actions.
