Security
1 critical severity finding. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.
Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.
The document provides explicit, actionable instructions for intercepting/modifying traffic and conducting offensive attacks (SQL injection, command injection, credential brute-force, price manipulation and file disclosure), which enable deliberate exploitation and data theft.
Low
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.
SKILL.md instructs using Burp’s proxy/browser to browse a runtime-provided “Target web application URL” and then read captured request/response content in “Proxy > Intercept” / “Proxy > HTTP history” / “Dashboard > Issues,” which can include outsider-authored free text from the target site that may be ingested into the agent’s LLM context if the agent summarizes/extracts that content.
