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.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The workflow's Step 2 ("Collect passive intelligence: domains, subdomains, ASN/IP ranges, DNS, mail records, public endpoints, technology stack indicators and externally visible services") requires ingesting open/public third-party data (public DNS/WHOIS/web endpoints and other externally visible content) that the agent must read and use to plan/drive recon, so untrusted external content could influence actions.
