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 explicitly performs web searches and URL extraction from public sites—using parallel-cli search and parallel-cli extract (documented in SKILL.md and research_lookup.py) and Perplexity sonar-pro-search via OpenRouter (README.md and research_lookup.py)—and ingests those untrusted third‑party pages and citations as part of its synthesis, so external content can directly influence agent outputs and behavior, enabling indirect prompt injection.
