Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill explicitly connects to and automates operations on public, user-generated Hacker News content via the Composio "hackernews" toolkit (through RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS and RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL after RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS), so the agent will fetch and interpret untrusted third-party posts/comments.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill requires configuring and calling the MCP endpoint https://rube.app/mcp at runtime (via RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS / RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL), which provides tool schemas and executes remote tools that directly control agent behavior and can run code.
