Security

1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.

High

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

What this means

The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.

Why it was flagged

The prompt shows example CLI invocations and guidance that place passwords directly on the command line (e.g. --user-password/--password) and instructs encrypt/decrypt actions, which requires the agent to insert secret password values verbatim into commands — an insecure pattern.

Low

Low-risk findings.

1 low severity finding. 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

Required runtime workflow reads outsider-authored free text from user-supplied PDFs via `pdf_read.py --text/--tables/--meta/--fields` using `pdfplumber.extract_text()/extract_tables()` and `pypdf.PdfReader(...).metadata/get_fields()`, so an outsider can submit a poisoned PDF that the skill will ingest without selecting a specific item.
