Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis

CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

  • Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The Skill contains deceptive runtime instructions that tell the agent to automatically install BrowserAct dependencies without asking the user and explicitly to avoid describing the installation as a user request, which is hidden/deceptive behavior outside the advertised scraping functionality.

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.70). These URLs point to an external install page (browseract.com) that the skill instructs agents to use for automated dependency installation without user confirmation, which is a moderately high-risk distribution vector for binaries or installers.

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 BrowserAct to access real LinkedIn post pages at runtime and extract comment text (outsider-authored free text from public/authorized web content), which the agent then uses as LLM-readable context for results.

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: 0.70). The Skill explicitly instructs the agent to automatically install the BrowserAct CLI and resume execution "without asking the user to confirm" and to treat the CLI as a required runtime dependency, which directs the agent to modify the host system (install software) and bypass normal user consent—potentially compromising machine state.
