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

Most static findings are documentation examples, placeholders, or expected Nuclei scanning guidance and were dismissed as false positives. One critical issue remains: a CI template installs tfsec with a remote curl-to-bash pipeline. Additional risks include mutable GitHub Action references and sensitive data handling in authenticated scans and extractors.

Capability review items (1)
High
assets/ci-config-template.yml:240
Hardcoded URL
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/tfsec/master/scripts/install_linux.sh | bash
The hardcoded URL is part of a remote installer that is executed by the shell. The network dependency is risky because the script is not pinned or verified.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (4)

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 CI template pipes a remote installer directly into bash. This is a real supply-chain execution risk if the template is used as written.
RISK-002 High
assets/github_actions.yml:47-55
Mutable GitHub Action Reference
The workflow template uses projectdiscovery/nuclei-action@main. A mutable branch can change CI behavior without review.
The workflow directly references a third-party action on the main branch. This is a clear supply-chain risk in CI templates.
RISK-003 High
SKILL.md:354-375references/template_development.md:605-629
Sensitive Value Extraction Requires Guardrails
Example templates extract API keys, database URLs, JWT secrets, and exposed configuration values from target responses. Reports should record evidence without storing secret values.
The templates intentionally match and extract sensitive values from HTTP responses. This is legitimate DAST behavior, but it creates data-handling risk if outputs are retained or shared.
RISK-004 Medium
assets/github_actions.yml:180-191
Authenticated Scan Artifacts May Expose Sensitive Data
The authenticated scan uses API tokens and session cookies, then uploads raw results as an artifact. Results can contain sensitive URLs or response evidence.
The file shows secrets passed as scan headers and authenticated results uploaded with retention. Nuclei output may not include headers, so confidence is high but not absolute.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Remote installer piped to shell
    Replace curl-to-bash with a pinned release, checksum verification, or a trusted package manager installation step.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    Mutable GitHub Action reference
    Pin third-party GitHub Actions to immutable commit SHAs and review updates through normal dependency management.
  3. FIX-003
    High
    Sensitive value extraction in templates
    Prefer presence-based evidence or masked extractors instead of storing full API keys, tokens, database URLs, or secrets.
  4. FIX-004
    Medium
    Authenticated scan artifact exposure
    Redact sensitive evidence, reduce artifact retention, and restrict artifact access for authenticated scan results.
  5. FIX-005
    Medium
    Operational scan scope risk
    Require explicit target allowlists, written authorization, conservative rate limits, and production exclusions in reusable workflows.
