HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

• Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The prompts and example code explicitly open registry hives (including SAM/NTUSER.DAT) and print registry values (e.g., value.value()), which can contain password hashes, saved credentials, Wi‑Fi keys or other secrets, so the agent would be instructed to emit those secrets verbatim.

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

• Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.70). The SKILL.md workflow explicitly instructs fetching third-party code (e.g., "git clone https://github.com/keydet89/RegRipper3.0.git" in Step 2) and the agent runs those tools (RegRipper/regipy) on registry hives, so untrusted, publicly‑hosted code and plugins are ingested and their outputs can materially influence analysis results and subsequent actions.

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

• Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The workflow includes a runtime "git clone https://github.com/keydet89/RegRipper3.0.git" followed by executing its rip.pl scripts (perl /opt/regripper/rip.pl), so the skill fetches remote code from that URL and executes it as a required dependency.
