Risk Level: CRITICAL
Full Analysis
HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
- Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill asks the agent to request and embed API tokens/credentials (e.g., export LLM_API_KEY / STRIX_API_TOKEN) and includes an explicit example of putting plaintext credentials into a CLI --instruction flag, which would force the LLM to handle or reproduce secret values verbatim.
CRITICAL E005: Suspicious download URL detected in skill instructions.
- Suspicious download URL detected (high risk: 0.90). One URL (https://strix.ai/install) is a high-risk install endpoint used with "curl | bash" (remote script piped to a shell), which is a common malware distribution pattern and should be treated as suspicious unless you fully trust and verify the provider and script.
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
- Third-party content exposure detected (medium risk: 0.30). The required runtime workflow ingests outsider-authored free text via the user-provided scan target URLs and optional
--instruction/--instruction-filefields (including arbitrary strings) that the Strix pentesting agent uses during execution, e.g.,strix ... -t https://...and--instruction "..."at runtime.
MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill instructs users to run a runtime installation command that fetches and executes remote code via "curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash", which executes external code from https://strix.ai/install during setup.
