Risk Level: HIGH
Full Analysis
HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
- Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompt explicitly instructs embedding API tokens in commands and code (e.g.,
deepxiv config --token YOUR_NEW_TOKENandReader(token="YOUR_TOKEN")), which requires the LLM to handle and potentially output secrets verbatim.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). This skill explicitly fetches and ingests open/public third‑party papers from arXiv and PMC (see SKILL.md commands like
deepxiv paperanddeepxiv pmc) and uses that content in an integrated agent for analysis, meaning untrusted web-hosted content can influence the agent's behavior and decisions.
