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: 0.85). The skill’s runtime workflow reads repository files (e.g., `README.md`, `package.json`, sampled source files) and synthesizes their contents into `.github/copilot-instructions.md`; those file bodies are outsider-authored whenever the operating user did not author the repo’s text/code (e.g., public repo content or other contributors’ docs/code).
W021: Hidden or invisible Unicode characters detected (potential obfuscation or prompt injection)
Why it was flagged
