Risk Level: MEDIUM
Full Analysis
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The scaffold script invokes npx to fetch and run remote npm packages at runtime (e.g., "npx @backstage/create-app@{version}" and "npx @red-hat-developer-hub/cli@latest", which resolve to the npm registry like https://registry.npmjs.org/@backstage/create-app), meaning external code is downloaded and executed as a required part of the workflow.
