Full Analysis

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.70). Mixed signals: example.com and proxy.example.com are harmless placeholders, ara.so is an unverified domain, but the GitHub repo (https://github.com/Gowtham-Darkseid/AutoPentestX.git) is an untrusted third‑party repository—cloning and executing code from an unknown/low‑reputation GitHub account without review can deliver malware, so the overall set is moderately high risk.

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill's Web Application Testing workflows (e.g., WebScanner.test_sql_injection and test_xss called with arbitrary target_url in the "Web Application Testing" section) explicitly fetch and parse content from external websites/URLs, meaning untrusted third‑party page content is read and used to drive scanning, payload selection, and follow-on actions.

MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly instructs using root/sudo (e.g., "Run with sudo", sudo apt-get, sudo setcap), recommends changing system capabilities and installing system packages, and even shows executing exploits—actions that require elevated privileges and modify the host system state.
