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.

AI review confirmed unsafe remote installer execution in CI and user-facing guidance, plus repository token exposure in third-party CI actions. Most remaining alerts are false positives from Markdown syntax, educational vulnerability examples, scanner exclusion paths, and reference URLs. No prompt injection evidence was found.

Critical

assets/ci_integration/github_actions.yml:70

Hardcoded URL

curl -s -L https://detect.synopsys.com/detect.sh | bash -- \

This CI or user-facing command downloads a remote installer and immediately executes it with bash without a pinned version or checksum. That creates supply-chain code execution risk if the source or delivery path is compromised.

Git platform tokens

github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The workflow exposes a repository-scoped GitHub token to a third-party CI action. This is common in CI, but a compromised or mutable action could misuse the token under the declared permissions.

Git platform tokens

GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The workflow exposes a repository-scoped GitHub token to a third-party CI action. This is common in CI, but a compromised or mutable action could misuse the token under the declared permissions.

Unpinned CI Action References

CI templates reference mutable action tags such as synopsys-sig/detect-action@v1, gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2, and aquasecurity/trivy-action@master. Copied workflows could execute changed upstream code with repository permissions.

The runnable CI templates use mutable action refs, including a master branch reference. The risk depends on users copying the templates, but the supply chain pattern is clear.

Remediation

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

FIX-001
Critical
Remote installer scripts are executed directly with bash in CI templates and user guidance.

Use pinned Black Duck tooling or download installers to a file, verify checksums or signatures, and execute only reviewed versions.
FIX-002
High
Third-party GitHub Actions use mutable version tags, including a master branch reference.

Pin all third-party actions to reviewed commit SHAs and schedule periodic dependency review for action updates.
FIX-003
High
Repository-scoped GitHub tokens are passed to third-party CI actions.

Restrict workflow permissions per job, avoid write scopes unless required, and prefer scoped tokens for external integrations.
FIX-004
Medium
Reference files include dangerous attack examples that can trigger scanners or be copied without context.

Label examples as non-executable training material and keep dangerous snippets minimal, inert, and clearly separated from templates.
