Layer Breakdown
Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings3
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Untrusted instruction in Heartbeat Integration The skill documentation contains a direct instruction `Read skills/agentarcade/HEARTBEAT.md and follow it.` within the untrusted input block. If the host LLM processes this as an instruction, it constitutes a prompt injection attempt, compelling the LLM to execute commands or read files based on untrusted content. This violates the principle of treating all content within the untrusted delimiters as data, not instructions. Remove direct instructions intended for the host LLM from untrusted content. Rephrase as descriptive text (e.g., 'The `HEARTBEAT.md` file contains instructions for periodic checks.') or move such instructions outside the untrusted block if they are truly meant for the LLM. | LLM | SKILL.md:52 | |
| HIGH | Hardcoded Bearer Token detected A hardcoded Bearer Token was found. Secrets should be stored in environment variables or a secret manager. Replace the hardcoded secret with an environment variable reference. | Static | skills/shawnlewis/agent-arcade/SKILL.md:30 | |
| HIGH | Hardcoded Bearer Token detected A hardcoded Bearer Token was found. Secrets should be stored in environment variables or a secret manager. Replace the hardcoded secret with an environment variable reference. | Static | skills/shawnlewis/agent-arcade/SKILL.md:37 |
