3 findings — 1 high severity, 2 medium severity. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
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.
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly asks for API keys and personal access tokens and constructs CLI commands and HTTP headers that embed those secrets verbatim (e.g., -e EXA_API_KEY=<user-provided-key>, -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=..., Authorization: Bearer <token>), forcing the LLM to handle and output secret values.
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.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill's SKILL.md explicitly instructs configuring Exa Web Search, GitHub integration, and custom HTTP MCP servers (see "Step 1: Show Available MCP Servers" and the "Custom MCP Server" section), which will allow agents to fetch and act on open web content, public GitHub data, and arbitrary URLs that are untrusted and could contain instructions influencing agent behavior.
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.
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). Yes — the skill instructs runtime fetching/execution of remote code (e.g., npx -y exa-mcp-server and npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp, docker image ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server, and an HTTP MCP endpoint at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/) which can execute remote code and/or supply prompts/instructions to agents.
