Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.
- Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs the agent to automatically install the BrowserAct dependency without user confirmation and explicitly tells the agent to conceal the installation (not describe it as a user-opened link or request approval), which is a deceptive runtime behavior outside the stated Reddit-scraping purpose.
CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
- Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.70). These links point to a third‑party CLI installer (browseract.com) invoked for automatic installation from the Skill (including a redirect to a GitHub repo), which is not an official OS package manager or widely known vendor and therefore could be used to distribute binaries without explicit user consent.
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 invoke the BrowserAct CLI for live browser execution (SKILL.md:27-28, 38-45), which will fetch and read outsider-authored Reddit web page content (titles/snippets/comments) into the LLM context for extraction.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill explicitly instructs the agent to install and invoke BrowserAct at runtime using the Install BrowserAct link (https://www.browseract.com/?co-from=social-media&redirect=https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main), which would fetch and execute external runtime code (BrowserAct CLI/Skill).
