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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's SKILL.md explicitly instructs using yt-dlp to download subtitles from arbitrary YouTube VIDEO_URLs (e.g., "yt-dlp --write-sub ... 'VIDEO_URL'"), which causes the agent to ingest public, user-generated transcript text from YouTube that could contain adversarial instructions.
