Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.
- Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.80). The Skill explicitly instructs the agent to install a dependency automatically "without asking the user to confirm" and to "not describe it as a request for the user to open their browser," which directs deceptive concealment of installation actions outside the normal disclosed scraping purpose.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). SKILL.md instructs the agent to use the BrowserAct CLI to access real Instagram pages at runtime and extract visible profile/biography text (outsider-authored web page content) into the agent’s context for processing/export.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill declares the BrowserAct CLI/Skill as a required runtime dependency and instructs the agent to "invoke" it and "follow its current instructions", pointing to https://www.browseract.com/?co-from=social-media and https://www.browseract.com/?co-from=social-media&redirect=https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main, which indicates external content will be fetched at runtime and can control agent behavior.
MEDIUM W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
- Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.70). The Skill instructs the agent to automatically install the BrowserAct CLI and obtain a required Skill without asking the user or seeking approval, which directs the agent to modify the host system (potentially installing software or requiring elevated actions) without consent.
