Performing Security Testing
This skill automates security vulnerability testing. It is triggered when the user requests security assessments, penetration tests, or vulnerability scans. The skill covers OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication issues, and authorization flaws. Use this skill when the user mentions "security test", "vulnerability scan", "OWASP", "SQL injection", "XSS", "CSRF", "authentication", or "authorization" in the context of application or API testing.

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
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill asks the user to "Provide necessary authentication credentials" for testing protected resources without specifying secure handling (e.g., use of environment variables or tool-managed auth), so the agent may request and embed secrets verbatim, creating an exfiltration risk.
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: 1.00). The SKILL.md "Execute Tests" workflow explicitly activates the security-test-scanner plugin to run scans against user-specified application/API endpoints, so the agent will fetch and interpret arbitrary external HTTP responses from potentially untrusted third-party or user-controlled sites which could contain instructions that influence subsequent tool use and decisions.
