Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

1 confirmed security finding requires attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

Open current Skill page

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Static findings were reviewed against SKILL.md. The Ruby backtick, hardcoded URL, path traversal, and environment access detections are false positives from markdown fences, metadata URLs, repository links, and prose paths. The substantive concern is misuse potential because the skill helps design cold outbound email programs.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:18SKILL.md:57-61
Cold Outreach Abuse Potential
The skill intentionally designs B2B cold outbound sequences, reply triage, warmup, and send throttles. These features can support unsolicited or high-volume outreach if used without consent and suppression controls.
Lines 18 and 57-61 directly describe cold outbound sequence design, exit rules, send throttles, and compliance guardrails. The skill includes safeguards, so the finding is misuse potential rather than direct malicious code.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    Cold outreach can be misused for unsolicited bulk email.
    Add explicit refusal language for requests that bypass consent, opt-out, suppression, or jurisdiction checks.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    Saved memory filenames may be based on user-provided sequence or ICP text.
    Require slug sanitization for saved filenames and reject path separators in the placeholder.
