testland/zap-authenticated-scans
Configures authenticated DAST sessions in ZAP - ZAP Context + Authentication Method (form, JSON, script, browser-based, HTTP/NTLM), Session Management strategy (cookie, header, script), Verification Strategy (regex indicators, poll-URL), CSRF token handling, OAuth/bearer header injection, logged-in/logged-out indicator calibration, and context XML export for use with `-n` in baseline and full scans. Use when the team needs DAST coverage of authenticated routes - the most common DAST gap and the hardest DAST setup to get right.

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
SKILL.md describes a runtime workflow where ZAP performs authenticated setup (e.g., fetching login pages and extracting CSRF tokens / autodetect verification URLs, and browser-based auth via navigating to `loginPageUrl`), which necessarily ingests outsider-controlled free-form page/response text from the target website into ZAP/LLM context—indirect prompt injection risk.
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 a CI/docker command that pulls and runs the container image ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable at runtime (docker run ... ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable), which executes remote code fetched from that URL.
