Highest confirmed finding severity

2 confirmed security findings require attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

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

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

Most static findings are false positives caused by Markdown examples, Spectral rule templates, security references, and documented vulnerable-code samples. Confirmed risks remain in the CI templates: remote scripts or rulesets are downloaded from mutable branches, one installer is piped directly to bash, and a GitHub token is passed to an unpinned third-party action.

Limitations

This report does not claim runtime or sandbox execution and does not prove the absence of side effects.

Evidence chain

Capability review items (4)
Critical
assets/ci-config-template.yml:240
Hardcoded URL
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/tfsec/master/scripts/install_linux.sh | bash
The URL is used in a curl-to-bash installer inside a CI template. A compromised remote script would execute arbitrary code in the build runner.
High
assets/ci-config-template.yml:164
Git platform tokens
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
The template passes GITHUB_TOKEN to a third-party action that is referenced by a mutable version tag. This is a legitimate workflow pattern, but it creates a real token exposure risk if that action is compromised.
High
assets/github-actions-template.yml:66
Hardcoded URL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SecOpsAgentKit/skills/main/appsec/api-spectral/scripts/parse_spect
The workflow downloads a Python helper from an unpinned branch and then executes that helper. If the remote branch changes maliciously, CI could run attacker-controlled code.
Medium
assets/github-actions-template.yml:165
Hardcoded URL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SecOpsAgentKit/skills/main/appsec/api-spectral/assets/spectral-owa
The workflow downloads an OWASP ruleset from an unpinned branch and immediately uses it for validation. A compromised or changed remote file could weaken security checks.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Critical
assets/ci-config-template.yml:240
Pipe to shell pattern
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/tfsec/master/scripts/install_linux.sh | bash
The workflow pipes a remote install script directly into bash. This is a real supply-chain execution risk because the script is not pinned or verified before execution.
RISK-002 High
assets/ci-config-template.yml:161-164assets/ci-config-template.yml:196-197assets/github-actions-template.yml:63-70
Unpinned CI Actions And Remote Downloads
The CI templates use mutable action references and branch-based downloads, including gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2, aquasecurity/trivy-action@master, and raw GitHub downloads. Security workflows should pin trusted actions and downloaded files to immutable commits or verified checksums.
The cited workflow lines show mutable tags or branch URLs used in security-sensitive CI steps. This is a clear supply-chain hardening issue, though it appears to be template guidance rather than malicious intent.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Remote tfsec installer is piped directly to bash in the CI template.
    Replace curl-to-bash with a pinned package, checksum-verified release artifact, or trusted action pinned to a commit SHA.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    CI templates download helper scripts and rulesets from mutable GitHub branch URLs.
    Pin downloads to immutable commit URLs and verify checksums before execution or use vendored files in the skill package.
  3. FIX-003
    High
    Third-party GitHub Actions are referenced by mutable tags or master branches.
    Pin all third-party actions to reviewed commit SHAs and grant the minimum token permissions required for each job.
  4. FIX-004
    Medium
    Documentation includes many command examples that static scanners flag as executable patterns.
    Label examples as user-run commands, avoid unnecessary shell substitution, and add safer alternatives where possible.
