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: 0.90). The skill explicitly ingests arbitrary, untrusted PDF files (see SKILL.md workflow steps and scripts/agent.py which reads the provided target PDF and extracts embedded JavaScript and URLs via extract_javascript/extract_urls), and it treats that extracted content as part of the analysis and risk scoring—meaning user-generated/third‑party content can materially influence decisions and next actions.
