The skill instructs the Agent to insert named third-party accounts into generated image footers. The public-account preset is selected by default when the user does not specify a platform, while the other preset inserts a separate named account.
These footer values are not neutral placeholders. They can alter attribution and add promotional content that the user did not request. Because this behavior is defined in the loaded skill instructions, it can influence the Agent's rendering actions without explicit user authorization.
No system access, elevated privileges, or code execution is obtained through this issue. The affected scope is the integrity and authenticity of images generated by the skill.

Remediation Suggestions
- Replace named account values with empty strings or clearly marked neutral placeholders.
- Do not add footer branding unless the user explicitly provides or approves it.
- Make the default preset affect colors only, not attribution or promotional text.

- Add a policy stating that third-party branding must never be inserted implicitly.
- Add tests confirming that a request without a footer produces an image with no attribution text.
