Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). The workflow downloads and ingests outsider-authored free text from the public Atomic Red Team repository at runtime (e.g., IEX ... DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../install-atomicredteam.ps1') and Install-AtomicRedTeam -getAtomics fetching YAML atomics), which the script then parses/uses as readable content (attack commands/descriptions) during execution.

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).


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

  • Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly instructs installing and executing Atomic Red Team tests (including running remote install scripts, requiring administrative/root access) and calls out atomic tests that create accounts, modify services and registry keys, and perform credential-dumping — all actions that change system state and can compromise the host.
