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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). The required workflow calls the public Algolia HN Search API at runtime and ingests outsider-authored HN story/comment text fields (e.g., story_text / comment_text) into the script’s items and then prints them as JSON/summary, which would be free text from non-operating-user authors.
