Low-risk findings.
2 low severity findings. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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
scripts/fetch_transcript.py ingests outsider-controlled free text only as user-provided YouTube URL/video ID (passed as `videoUrl` to the APIFY actor and its returned transcript text), and does not monitor any unsolicited outsider-authored feed, queue, ticket, or inbox at runtime without an explicit URL selection.
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 skill's runtime Python script calls the APIFY API (APIFY_API_BASE = "https://api.apify.com/v2", and optionally https://api.gooseworks.ai when using a proxy) to start an Apify actor run (remote code execution) which the skill requires to fetch transcripts.
