Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
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.
