Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. 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
In scripts/agent.py the agent ingests outsider-authored free text contained in a user-provided PCAP file (argv path), then parses and prints HTTP/DNS payload fields like decoded_body_preview and query names at runtime.
