161-java-profiling-detect

Use when you need to set up Java application profiling to detect and measure performance issues — including automated async-profiler v4.0 setup, problem-driven profiling (CPU, memory, threading, GC, I/O), interactive profiling scripts, JFR integration with Java 25 (JEP 518, JEP 520), or collecting profiling data with flamegraphs and JFR recordings.

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

Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The interactive profiling script (profiler/scripts/profile-java-process.sh), specifically the download_profiler() step, fetches async-profiler binaries from a public GitHub releases URL (https://github.com/async-profiler/...), which is untrusted third‑party content that the workflow downloads and executes as part of profiling and can therefore influence subsequent tool behavior.

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

Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The interactive scripts download and extract async-profiler at runtime from GitHub (constructed URL: https://github.com/async-profiler/async-profiler/releases/download/v4.1/<filename>), then execute its binaries (e.g., current/bin/asprof and jfrconv), making this remote content a required runtime dependency that executes code.
