Low-risk findings worth noting
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
The workflow conducts literature searches and extracts content from arbitrary web pages and academic databases (via parallel-cli search/extract, gget, and direct API queries), allowing the agent to ingest outsider-authored text on demand.
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
The skill executes `curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash` at runtime to install the required CLI tool, which fetches and executes remote code.
