Confirmed finding summary

No confirmed security findings

The completed audit recorded no confirmed security findings. This is not proof that the Skill has no side effects.

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 analysis found many command, credential, filesystem, and network indicators, but review shows they are mostly osquery detection queries and defensive documentation. The skill is not malicious, but it can guide privileged endpoint collection that exposes sensitive files, process details, registry data, and network activity, so users need clear operational controls.

Privileged Forensic Queries Can Expose Sensitive Data
TRUE_POSITIVE: The skill explicitly documents that osquery can access sensitive system information, including password hashes, private keys, and process memory. The credential-access pack also queries password files, credential-related filenames, browser credential access indicators, SSH key locations, and registry credential storage. This is appropriate for incident response, but results require strict authorization, storage protection, and sharing controls.
The sensitive data access is documented directly and appears in concrete osquery file and registry queries. The same context confirms defensive intent, so the risk is operational rather than malicious.

Deployment Guidance Enables Privileged Persistent Monitoring
TRUE_POSITIVE: The deployment reference includes sudo package installation, systemd enablement, and launchd loading for osqueryd. These commands are normal for endpoint monitoring, but they install or enable a persistent privileged service that can collect broad host telemetry.
The referenced lines clearly show privileged service deployment and enabled event collection. The commands target osqueryd operations, not stealthy persistence or unauthorized control.

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

External Command Alerts Are Mostly Defensive Query Literals
FALSE_POSITIVE: Many PowerShell, cmd.exe, sudo, nmap, and shell strings are inside osquery SQL queries or reference examples that detect suspicious activity. They are not executed by the skill files themselves, although users may run osquery commands from the documentation.
The cited command names appear in SELECT predicates and documentation for detecting attacker behavior. I found no evidence that those strings are invoked as executable payloads.
Low
SKILL.md:206-217SKILL.md:226-230SKILL.md:342-347
Weak Cryptography Alerts Refer To Forensic Hash Fields
FALSE_POSITIVE: MD5 appears as a file hash field used for forensic lookup and evidence correlation, often next to SHA256. The skill does not recommend MD5 for cryptographic integrity or password storage.
The context is artifact hashing and threat intelligence lookup, not cryptographic design. MD5 is still weak, but the usage is a common forensic identifier pattern.
Low
SKILL.md:290-300references/osqueryd-deployment.md:467-476
No Prompt Injection Attempt Found
FALSE_POSITIVE: No evidence found for embedded instructions that tell the evaluator to ignore analysis, override policy, skip review, or change risk levels. References to administrator privileges are ordinary operational requirements for osquery.
Targeted review found security guidance and privilege requirements, not instruction hijacking text. This is a negative finding with confidence limited to the reviewed files and static result scope.
