Low

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

Honcho’s required runtime workflow injects a first-party “memory-context” block (session summary, user representation, and AI peer card plus recent messages) into the system prompt before each turn in `hybrid`/`context` recall modes, and those contents are derived from observed messages supplied by the end user, creating an indirect prompt-injection exposure path via user-authored text.

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

The skill calls the Honcho cloud service (https://app.honcho.dev) at runtime to obtain session summaries, user representations, and AI peer cards which are injected into the model's system prompt, so remote content directly controls agent prompts.
