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

The audit confirms the CI template remote installer piped to bash as a critical supply-chain pattern and flags stealth guidance as a high-risk semantic issue. Most other static detections are false positives from Markdown examples, reference links, dummy credentials, and secure coding examples. No prompt injection attempt was found in the reviewed files.

Capability review items (1)
Low
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 to fetch an installer during CI as part of a curl-to-bash sequence. Runtime network dependency on unverified remote code is a supply-chain risk.

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
Line 240 pipes a remote installer from raw.githubusercontent.com directly into bash. That allows upstream or transit compromise to execute code in CI without pinning or checksum verification.
RISK-002 High
SKILL.md:186-204SKILL.md:392-403
Stealth and WAF Evasion Guidance
The skill includes explicit evasion and stealth commands for Nikto, including IDS evasion options and WAF-blocking workarounds. This can enable unauthorized scanning to avoid detection despite the authorization warning.
The cited sections use clear evasion language and concrete command options. The authorization caveat reduces certainty about malicious intent but not misuse potential.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Remote install script piped to shell in CI template
    Replace curl-to-bash with a pinned release, checksum verification, or a trusted GitHub Action version.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    Stealth and WAF evasion scan guidance
    Remove evasion examples or restrict them to approved defensive validation with explicit scope and logging requirements.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Placeholder credentials in authenticated scan examples
    Use neutral placeholders and warn users never to place real secrets in prompts or shared files.
