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.
The required runtime workflow is to call the NCBI E-utilities API (e.g., EFetch) to retrieve PubMed article abstracts/records as plain text, which are outsider-authored biomedical literature text fetched from an external public service and then becomes LLM-readable context (not merely the user’s own query parameters).
