Full Analysis

CRITICAL E004: Prompt injection detected in skill instructions.

  • Potential prompt injection detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs the agent to auto-install a runtime dependency without user confirmation and explicitly tells the agent to hide that installation and not request approval, which is a deceptive/hidden instruction beyond normal scraping behavior.

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 to access real Zhihu web pages at runtime, which will ingest outsider-authored free text from public web content into the 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 instructs the agent to automatically install a runtime dependency (BrowserAct) and to do so without asking the user for confirmation, which encourages modifying the host system state (installing software) without user approval.
