2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 high severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.

Critical

E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

What this means

Detected a prompt injection in the skill instructions. The skill contains hidden or deceptive instructions that fall outside its stated purpose and attempt to override the agent’s safety guidelines or intended behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to embed a non-visible marker ("<gstack-qid:...>") inside rendered AskUserQuestion text — an explicit hidden/stealth instruction to include metadata invisible to the user, which is a deceptive behavior outside the CSO audit's stated remit.

High

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

What this means

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.

Why it was flagged

The skill's Pre-emit verification gate explicitly requires quoting the verbatim code line(s) that motivated a finding (e.g., secret-containing .env or commit lines), which forces the model to output secret values verbatim.

Low

Low-risk findings.

1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.

Low

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

Source is the user/attacker-authored project repository content that this skill reads at runtime via local Grep/Find/git-history scanning (e.g., Phase 2 secrets archaeology, Phase 4 CI/CD workflow parsing, Phase 7 LLM/AI prompt-injection tracing, and Phase 8 skill supply-chain scanning), so arbitrary outsider text can be ingested directly without selecting a specific trusted item first.
