Risk Level: HIGH
Full Analysis
HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
- Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs the agent to extract and cite code snippets and files as "evidence" using file-search/view tools, which can force the LLM to reproduce secret values verbatim if those secrets exist in the repository, creating a high exfiltration risk.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's Research Methods explicitly require "Web Research: Use
search_webfor external information" (in SKILL.md), so the agent will fetch and interpret untrusted public web content as part of its workflow and those findings can materially influence recommendations and actions.
