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: 0.85). The required runtime workflow ingests the analyzed PDF file’s contents (including any embedded JavaScript/URLs/shellcode text extracted from the PDF) into the agent’s LLM context via the extracted readable prose/preview/code it prints/returns; if that PDF is outsider-authored (e.g., an email attachment from someone else), this is outsider free text entering the LLM context.
