Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
This skill’s required workflow runs the `ddgs` CLI (wrapper script) to fetch DuckDuckGo search results and returns their titles/snippets into the agent’s execution output, which is derived from outsider-authored public web content.
