improper-output-handling

Hunt improper LLM output handling (OWASP LLM05:2025) — downstream code that trusts unstructured model output and renders / executes / shells it without sanitisation, producing XSS, SSRF, SQL injection, RCE, and SSTI via the model channel.

Critical

E006: 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 document contains explicit proof-of-concept payloads and examples that enable data exfiltration, command injection/RCE, SQL injection, and filesystem overwrite (path traversal), which are clear, intentional malicious patterns that can be directly abused.

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 skill includes PoC prompts that instruct the model to emit payloads containing document.cookie and to embed the base64 of a previous user message into an external URL, which requires the LLM to reproduce sensitive values (or content) verbatim for exfiltration.

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 includes explicit command-injection and path-traversal PoC payloads (e.g. a filename containing "; curl ... | sh" and a destination of "../../etc/cron.d/run") that, if followed by an agent/tool wrapper, could overwrite system files or execute arbitrary shell commands and thus compromise the host state.
