Highest confirmed finding severity

Critical

3 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.

Open current Skill page

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

Most static findings are false positives from Markdown examples, defensive reference material, and public documentation links. Confirmed issues remain in supply chain guidance: an unverified curl-to-bash installer, a mutable binary download, plaintext credential examples, and a mutable CI action reference.

Limitations

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

Evidence chain

Follow the evidence from source binding to the install contract. Available evidence supports verification; it is not a safety guarantee.

Capability review items (2)
High
Hardcoded URL
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/tfsec/master/scripts/install_linux.sh | bash
The hardcoded raw GitHub URL is used as the source for a shell-piped installer in the CI template. That creates a supply chain risk if the remote script changes or is compromised.
Medium
Hardcoded URL
wget https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/releases/latest/download/cosign-linux-amd64
The skill instructs users to download the latest Cosign Linux binary from a mutable URL, then make it executable and move it into PATH. No checksum or signature verification is shown.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (3)

RISK-001 Critical
Pipe to shell pattern
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/tfsec/master/scripts/install_linux.sh | bash
The CI template fetches a remote installer with curl and immediately pipes it to bash. This executes unverified network content inside the build environment.
RISK-002 Medium
Plaintext Registry Credential Guidance
The Syft configuration example shows registry username and password fields, then recommends adding credentials to .syft.yaml. Users may copy real registry credentials into a plaintext file.
The cited lines explicitly show credential fields in configuration and later recommend the config-file approach. The risk depends on user handling, so confidence is high but not absolute.
RISK-003 Medium
Mutable CI Action Reference
The CI template uses a GitHub Action from the mutable master branch. A changed upstream branch could alter build behavior without review.
The cited workflow references aquasecurity/trivy-action@master directly. Mutable action references are a known CI supply chain risk.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Remote installer is piped directly to bash in the CI template.
    Pin the tool version, download a release artifact, verify checksum or signature, and run the installer explicitly.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Cosign installation uses a latest URL without verification.
    Use a package manager or pin a release version and verify the downloaded binary before installation.
  3. FIX-003
    Medium
    Registry credentials are shown in plaintext Syft configuration examples.
    Prefer secret managers or CI secrets, and warn users not to commit configuration files containing credentials.
  4. FIX-004
    Medium
    The CI template uses a mutable GitHub Action branch reference.
    Pin third-party GitHub Actions to immutable commit SHAs or reviewed release tags.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

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

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
