Unrestricted sub-agent spawninghighsub agent spawningAML.T0053AML.T0051.001LLM06:2025

The skill instructs the agent to set up a system that automatically spawns parallel 'Jules' coding agents based on external GitHub issue content, creating an uncontrolled execution loop.

Dispatch parallel Jules sessions, one per task
Credential exposure via environment variablesmediumcredential theftAML.T0055AML.T0037LLM02:2025

The skill encourages users to pass JULES_API_KEY and GITHUB_TOKEN as environment variables to scripts, which are often logged in CI/CD history or process lists.

Indirect prompt injection vectorhighindirect prompt injection

The pipeline fetches external GitHub issues and feeds them directly into 'Jules' coding agents as task prompts, allowing an attacker to inject malicious instructions via issue comments.

Missing allowed-tools declarationlowunauthorized tool useAML.T0053LLM06:2025

Skill executes commands, writes files, or accesses the network but declares no allowed-tools, so its tool surface cannot be reviewed or constrained.

90% confidence
Undeclared network usagelowunauthorized tool useAML.T0053LLM06:2025

Skill contains network access patterns (HTTP requests, socket connections) without declaring network capability in allowed-tools.

SKILL.md links to "resources/architecture.md" but the file is not part of the skill package — the workflow silently degrades or the content is sourced elsewhere at runtime
