Full Analysis

CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

  • Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill contains explicit, deceptive instructions to automatically install a dependency and to "not describe" that action to the user or request approval, which is outside the scraping use-case and constitutes a prompt injection-like directive to hide behavior from the user.

CRITICAL E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

  • Malicious code pattern detected (high risk: 1.00). The document explicitly instructs automatic installation and invocation of a third‑party CLI without user confirmation and to avoid describing or requesting approval for that installation, enabling stealthy supply‑chain delivery and remote code execution risk.

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.85). This skill’s required runtime workflow invokes the browser-act Skill to access live Reddit pages (public web content) and extract visible text, which is outsider-authored free text that can be fed into the agent’s LLM context via the browser-extracted page content.

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 tells the agent to install the BrowserAct CLI automatically (without asking the user or requesting separate approval) and to treat that installation as a required runtime dependency, which directs the agent to modify the host system by installing software and bypass user consent.
