Full Analysis

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). The required workflow parses a ModSecurity audit log file at runtime (scripts/agent.py:187-188), and those audit logs include request/response content and rule match messages derived from external client traffic (outsider-authored free text), which is then read into the agent and used to generate outputs.

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

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill instructs installing and configuring ModSecurity and deploying OWASP CRS (including editing config/rules under /etc), which requires altering system files and installing software with elevated privileges, so it pushes changes to the machine state.
