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-file fields (including arbitrary strings) that the Strix pentesting agent uses during execution, e.g., str​ix ... -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.
