1 medium severity finding. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.

Medium

W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

What this means

The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.

Why it was flagged

The skill's Environment Setup explicitly asks the user/agent to run "sudo apt install ..." which pushes the agent to obtain sudo privileges and modify system packages.

Low-risk findings.

2 low severity findings. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.

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

SKILL.md instructs runtime cloning and reading of THIRD-PARTY repos (e.g., `git clone ... https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills.git` and `.../ClawBio/ClawBio.git`, then `cat .../SKILL.md` / `README.md`), which will be outsider-authored free text ingested into the agent context.

Low

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

SKILL.md explicitly instructs runtime git clones of remote repos (git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills.git and git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio.git), and ClawBio contains runnable pipelines so the fetched content can execute code and is a required dependency.
