Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
- Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.80). These URLs include direct install scripts from an unvetted domain, a placeholder/unknown GitHub repo, and an unofficial model/mirror domain — patterns commonly used to distribute malicious binaries or scripts.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (medium risk: 0.30). Open WebUI’s required workflow supports agentic web search where a model can call
fetch_urlto fetch and extract full page text from attacker-controlled URLs into the model context, enabling indirect prompt injection via outsider-authored web content.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The agentic-search docs instruct users to "Download the Action" from https://openwebui.com/posts/65d97417-d079-4720-b2cc-a63dd59b7e3e — this is a remote Function Action (code) that is fetched and then imported/enabled to run inside the system at runtime to fetch web content and inject it into model context, so external code/content can directly control model prompts.
