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 skill's SKILL.md "Fact-based approach" instructs the agent to "search the web or use context7 for up-to-date documentation," which requires fetching and interpreting public web content that could contain untrusted instructions influencing decisions and tool use.
