references/sources.json. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The script
scripts/search_news.jsutilizeschild_process.execFileto invoke the Node.js runtime and call the CLI of theweb-searchskill as a fallback search mechanism. The implementation uses argument arrays and temporary files to safely pass user-provided keywords, mitigating command injection risks. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill transmits user-provided search keywords to external services, including the Algolia search API for Hacker News and various RSS feed providers, to retrieve relevant technical articles.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill aggregates untrusted titles and summaries from 75+ third-party news sources. To mitigate formatting-based injection risks,
