Risk Level: HIGH
Full Analysis
HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
- Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly instructs the agent to ask the user for their Valyu API key and then run a shell command that embeds the API key verbatim (e.g., scripts/search setup ), forcing the LLM to receive and output the secret value.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill's SKILL.md and output examples show it queries the Valyu API (https://api.valyu.ai/v1) / bioRxiv corpus and returns full article text and URLs ('.results[].content' and 'url' from bioRxiv), meaning the agent ingests open/public third‑party preprints that could contain untrusted, instruction-like content.
