2 findings — 2 medium severity. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
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
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). This skill's agent workflow (see references/agent-usage.md and SKILL.md) instructs the agent to query the local SearXNG API (e.g., http://localhost:8888/search?q=...) which returns aggregated JSON scraped from open/public third‑party sources such as GitHub, npm, Stack Overflow, arXiv, etc., and explicitly tells the agent to parse and act on those results, so untrusted third‑party content can influence agent actions.
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
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The start-searxng script will pull and run the remote container image docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest at runtime (via podman/docker), which executes remote code and is relied upon to provide the SearXNG service, so this is a runtime external dependency that executes code: docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest
