Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
SKILL.md instructs the workflow to request “external documentation” via `/external-scout`, then read the returned cached file (e.g., `.tmp/external-context/<pkg>/<topic>.md`); since that documentation is sourced from outside the user’s authored content at runtime, it is outsider-authored free text injected into the LLM via the file read step.
