Unpinned, unverified remote content is treated as executable instructions

Source references: 2
What we found

The Skill fetches a mutable `main/command.md` for every review, then says to apply “all rules” and follow its output-format instructions. The remote content is therefore treated as instructions rather than merely reference material. No visible restriction confines those instructions to interface guidance, and no commit pin or integrity check is specified.

Why this matters

If the remote file is changed by its maintainer, compromised, or supplied with malicious instructions, the reviewing agent could depart from the user's request, suppress or distort findings, or attempt other steps not authorized by the user. The evidence does not establish that such a change or attack has occurred.

The Skill explicitly fetches content from a mutable GitHub main branch before every review, treats it as containing all rules and output-format instructions, and applies every fetched rule. With no pinned revision or stated integrity check, that remote file can control the review and its response format. If it is compromised or changed inappropriately, findings could be manipulated, omitted, or pushed beyond the authorized UI review. Users can ask for an audited commit hash and a boundary that treats fetched material only as UI-rule data, never as higher-priority instructions.

Inside this skill

3 instruction sections

The Skill is intended to review user-specified UI files for compliance with Web Interface Guidelines and report issues in a terse `file:line` format.

The review rules are not fixed within the Skill; every review fetches current content from a GitHub Raw URL and adopts its rules and output-format instructions.
