Risk Level: CRITICAL
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-actSkill 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).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The Skill explicitly treats the BrowserAct CLI as a required runtime dependency and instructs the agent to automatically install it by fetching 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 would cause the agent to retrieve and execute remote installation content at runtime.
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.
