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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (medium risk: 0.65). The required workflow uses Scholar Sidekick MCP tools (e.g., resolveIdentifier, checkRetraction, checkOpenAccess, verifyCitation) to look up user-provided scholarly identifiers against external scholarly databases/services at runtime, which can cause the LLM to ingest outsider-authored free text (e.g., titles/records/metadata and possibly retraction/OA status text) returned by those third-party sources.
