tessl review fix ./optional-skills/security/web-pentest/SKILL.mdE006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
What this means
Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.
Why it was flagged
The repository explicitly documents active offensive techniques (XSS/SSRF payloads that exfiltrate cookies/tokens, deserialization/command-injection RCE patterns, and obfuscation/bypass recipes) which — while framed for authorized pentesting — contain high-risk, dual-use instructions that can be abused for credential theft, data exfiltration, and remote code execution.
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
In Phase 2 Recon, the runtime fetches arbitrary free text from the operator-specified target via `curl`/browser crawling (e.g., `curl -sIk $TARGET_URL` and navigation of HTML/robots/sitemap), so outsider-authored content can be ingested without the agent selecting a specific item first.
