Full Analysis

CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.

  • Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.70). One URL (https://api.npoint.io/abc123) is a generic public JSON hosting endpoint referenced as an arbitrary add-source for the CLI, which makes it a potentially risky channel for delivering arbitrary component code that could include malicious payloads.

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.75). The required workflow includes fetching component documentation/examples and viewing registry items at runtime (e.g., npx shadcn@latest docs / view / add), which can ingest outsider-authored free text from public/community registries and linked example sources into the agent’s LLM context.

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 run the CLI and fetch documentation/example URLs at runtime (e.g. docs output links like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... and the community registry index https://ui.shadcn.com/r/registries.json), so remote content is retrieved during runtime and intended to be injected into the agent workflow to guide prompts and component installation.
