alphaxiv
Quick single-paper lookup via AlphaXiv LLM-optimized summaries with tiered source fallback. Use when user says "explain this paper", "summarize paper", pastes an arXiv/AlphaXiv URL, or provides a bare arXiv ID for quick understanding - not for broad literature search.

2 findings — 2 medium severity. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
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). This skill explicitly fetches and ingests public, third‑party content from alphaxiv.org (OVERVIEW_URL https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md and ABS_URL https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md) and arxiv.org source archives (ARXIV_SRC_URL https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID}) and its SKILL.md workflow Steps 2–4 require the agent to read and act on that content to produce answers and choose further actions, so untrusted/web content could carry indirect prompt injections.
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
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill fetches external markdown at runtime—https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md and https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md (with fallback to https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID})—and injects that fetched content into the model context to drive/shape agent responses, so these URLs directly control prompts during execution.
