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 workflow explicitly states the agent will identify and scan a user-specified web application or API endpoint (e.g., "Target Identification" and "Vulnerability Scanning" / "Run a penetration test on example.com"), which requires fetching and interpreting content from arbitrary public websites that are untrusted and could influence subsequent exploit decisions.
