Low

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

Outsider-provided “User describes a problem” free text is ingested at Step 1 and then included in the investigation prompt to the `principal-engineer-reviewer` sub-agent in Step 2 via “The prompt to the reviewer must instruct it… (user’s problem statement)”.
