Full Analysis

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

  • Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). SpiderFoot’s required runtime workflow runs OSINT modules (e.g., DNS/WHOIS/cert transparency/social/breach lookups) that fetch and ingest third-party web/API content into scan results, which are then read as JSON/prose by the agent (e.g., via sf.py ... -o json -f results.json and subsequent parsing of row[1]/row[2]).

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

  • Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill instructs to git clone and then run the fetched repository (git clone https://github.com/smicallef/spiderfoot.git followed by python3 sf.py), which fetches remote code and executes it locally, so the external URL is a required runtime dependency that executes remote code.
