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

[The required runtime workflow is triggered by user requests for code explanation and ingests the user-provided code snippet directly (the snippet text is outsider-authored free text).]
