Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.80). This is a direct link to an install.sh shell script on a third‑party domain and the skill explicitly suggests piping it to bash (curl | bash), which is a high‑risk pattern because such scripts can execute arbitrary commands unless you fully trust and have inspected the script and domain.

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). The SKILL.md explicitly describes tvly research as gathering and analyzing sources "grounded in web sources" using a workflow that includes "search → extract → map → crawl → research" and the tvly CLI (e.g., tvly research "query"), which clearly fetches and ingests open/public third‑party web content that the agent reads and synthesizes.

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