Third-party checks

2 warnings1mo5 checks · Risk MEDIUM
  • Gen Agent Trust Hub1mo

    The skill provides a framework for decision analysis using mental models and local Python scripts. It is flagged as medium risk due to metadata poisoning, as it claims to be authored by 'openai' while originating from an unrelated developer 'tristanmanchester'. Additionally, the skill's ingestion of untrusted user data for decision memos and script processing creates a surface for indirect prompt injection and potential arbitrary file writes.
