The skill directs generated HTML reports to load Chart.js from a content delivery network. It does not require an exact package version, fixed trusted URL, Subresource Integrity hash, restrictive Content Security Policy, or locally reviewed copy.
JavaScript retrieved from a CDN is executable content. Its effective behavior may change after this skill has been reviewed. If the generated report uses an unversioned or mutable CDN URL, compromise of the CDN, package publication channel, DNS path, or referenced resource could cause attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute when a user opens the report.
Exploitation depends on the generated report actually including the external script and the remote resource being compromised or substituted. The audited instruction does not itself identify a malicious CDN or contain a malicious payload.
Attack Path
- A user requests an interactive strategic-analysis HTML report.
- Following
SKILL.md, the agent generates HTML containing a remote Chart.js script reference. - The generated report is delivered to the user and opened in a browser.
- The browser contacts the external CDN and retrieves JavaScript that was not included in the audited project.
- An attacker who has compromised or substituted the remote resource serves modified JavaScript.
- The browser executes that JavaScript in the generated ...[truncated 790 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Bundle a reviewed, exact Chart.js release locally with the generated report so it does not retrieve executable code at viewing time.
- If a CDN is necessary, require a fully qualified trusted URL pinned to an exact immutable version.
- Add a verified Subresource Integrity hash and
crossorigin="anonymous"to the script element. - Apply a restrictive Content Security Policy that permits scripts only from explicitly approved sources and disallows unsafe inline execution.
- Document that opening the report performs an external network request and obtain user approval where reports may contain sensitive business information.
- Consider generating charts with local, non-executable SVG or server-side rendering to eliminate the browser-side dependency.
- Test generated reports with network access disabled to ensure a safe fallback and prevent silent degradation.
