2 findings — 2 medium severity. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
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.md and referenced guides explicitly instruct the agent to query public IDC metadata and BigQuery tables, fetch files from public S3/GCS buckets and DICOMweb proxy endpoints (e.g., client.sql_query(), BigQuery "bigquery-public-data.idc_current.*", series_aws_url, and DICOMweb proxy URL), which are untrusted third‑party data sources whose content (clinical notes, SR measurements, segment annotations, DOIs, manifest URLs) the agent is expected to read and use to decide downloads, viewer actions, and downstream processing — enabling indirect prompt-injection via that content.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill contains runtime code that upgrades/installs the idc-index package (via subprocess.run(["pip3","install",..."]) if the version is outdated) and explicitly references the idc-index GitHub repo https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/idc-index, meaning remote code will be fetched and executed as a required dependency at runtime.
