testland/nuclei-dast
Installs and runs ProjectDiscovery Nuclei template-based HTTP scanning: selects templates via `-t {path}` and `-tags`/`-severity` filters, controls request rate with `-rl`, emits JSONL output via `-j` for cross-tool finding aggregation, authors custom YAML matchers for app-specific checks, and gates CI on severity thresholds. Use when the team runs Nuclei alongside ZAP for template-driven DAST coverage, needs fuzzing-style probes beyond ZAP passive scan, or wants to operationalize community CVE templates in a pipeline.

Low-risk findings.
2 low severity findings. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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 for `nuclei-dast` ingests and scans target URLs by executing `nuclei` with `-u ${{ vars.STAGING_URL }}` (and optionally local template paths via `-t`), but it does not describe any runtime consumption of outsider-authored free text without first selecting specific templates/targets.
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 runs runtime install/update commands that fetch and execute remote code or control scanner behavior — notably the Go install target "github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/cmd/nuclei@latest" and the template repository "github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates" (and points to release downloads at https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/releases), so external content fetched at runtime can directly control scanning behavior or execute code.
