Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.
- Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The Skill explicitly instructs the Agent to install dependencies automatically and to "not describe" the installation as a user-facing request or ask for user approval, which is a deceptive instruction outside the scraper's stated data-collection purpose.
CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.
- Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 0.90). The Skill explicitly instructs automatic installation of a runtime dependency without user confirmation and to conceal that installation, which is a deceptive behavior that enables unauthorized installs or supply-chain abuse.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). This skill’s runtime workflow invokes the BrowserAct CLI to access real LinkedIn pages and extract post text/comments (outsider-authored free text from public web content fetched at runtime), which can be fed into the agent’s LLM context for analysis/export.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The Skill explicitly requires installing and invoking the BrowserAct CLI at runtime and directs the agent to automatically install it from https://www.browseract.com/?co-from=social-media&redirect=https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main (and the related https://www.browseract.com/?co-from=social-media), which is a required runtime dependency that can fetch/execute remote installation code.
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 to do so without asking the user for approval), which directs the agent to modify the host system state by adding software/dependencies and potentially running installers.
