Pin the npm registry to the public default and fetch published release notes
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
The workflow downloads and ingests release notes from a documented URL (https://downloads.example-tool.dev), which is an active fetch of external content.
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
The script fetches release notes from https://downloads.example-tool.dev, an arbitrary and unknown third-party server whose publisher provenance cannot be verified, constituting a weak operational dependency.
