2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 high severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
What this means
Detected a suspicious URL in the skill instructions that could lead the agent to download and execute malicious scripts or binaries. This includes links to executables from untrusted sources, typosquatting of official packages, URL shorteners that obscure the destination, and personal file hosting services.
Why it was flagged
One of the URLs is a direct raw shell script (curl to a .sh) which is a high-risk pattern for distributing malware when piped to sh, while the remaining links are documentation, dashboard, or Git repo placeholders and are not direct download/executable sources.
W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
The skill instructs adding an "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" header to the MCP config and shows an example `export RENDER_API_KEY="rnd_xxxxx"`, which implies the agent or config must include user API keys verbatim (exposing secrets in prompts/outputs/config snippets), creating an exfiltration risk.
Low
Low-risk findings.
2 low severity findings. 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
Blueprint and direct-creation flows instruct the agent to analyze the user’s Git repository codebase (e.g., read manifest/lock files and scripts) to extract build/start/env requirements, which would be outsider-authored free text if the repository content is not authored by the operating user; the runtime path is “Step 1: Analyze Codebase” → agent ingests repository files into its LLM context.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The skill includes an installation instruction that fetches and executes a remote shell script at runtime via curl (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/render-oss/cli/main/bin/install.sh), which would execute remote code if run.
