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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill directly fetches and parses public NCBI content via E-utilities (e.g., efetch/esearch/elink at https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) — including FASTA headers and GenBank XML parsed by functions like parse_fasta and extract_cds_translations — and uses that untrusted, submitter-authored text to choose and filter sequences (e.g., selecting dominant isoforms, filtering by header/patent text), so third-party content can influence tool behavior.
