MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill (scripts/search_hn.py and SKILL.md) directly queries and ingests user-generated Hacker News posts/comments from the public Algolia HN Search API (https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date), which the agent reads, filters, and uses to produce results—so untrusted third-party content could influence outputs or downstream decisions.
