Full Analysis

CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

  • Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The prompt explicitly instructs the subagent to use mode "bypassPermissions", which tells the agent to circumvent access controls and potentially exfiltrate unauthorized data—an instruction outside the benign GitHub-search purpose and therefore a prompt injection.

HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

  • Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). This prompt instructs the agent to fetch and "report the results back ... exactly as returned" from a GitHub search, which can include verbatim secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords) found in repository content, enabling secret exfiltration.

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). At runtime the required workflow calls the github-searcher subagent to search GitHub and then returns the agent’s results verbatim; GitHub content (issues/PRs/comments/wiki text) is outsider-authored free text that the subagent will ingest and pass into the LLM context.

MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.70). The prompt explicitly tells the agent to call a subagent with mode "bypassPermissions," which directs the agent to circumvent permission/security checks even though it doesn't ask for sudo or file changes.
