Security

1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.

High

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 explicitly instructs the agent to include the "exact contract text" verbatim (and to read files/URLs), so any secrets present in the contract (API keys, tokens, passwords) would be output directly—creating an exfiltration risk.

Low

Low-risk findings.

2 low severity findings. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.

Low

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

The required workflow ingests outsider-authored free text whenever a caller supplies pasted contract text or an external contract URL (trigger `/legal plain <file>` → Step 1 reads/fetches the contract via Read tool or WebFetch, then the model translates every clause including the fetched/pasted text).

Low

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 explicitly fetches arbitrary user-supplied URLs at runtime ("If a URL is provided, fetch it using WebFetch" invoked via the trigger `/legal plain <file>`), which will inject remote document content into the model context and can directly control the agent's output.
