Highest confirmed finding severity

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

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

Most static findings are documentation examples, Markdown formatting, or security education snippets rather than executable threats. I confirmed a critical CI pipe-to-shell installer, a related unpinned remote download, and risky GITHUB_TOKEN exposure. I also found semantic risk in the main skill guidance for stealth and IDS evasion during web scanning.

Capability review items (2)
High
assets/ci-config-template.yml:164
Git platform tokens
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
The workflow passes GITHUB_TOKEN to a third-party action. This is a common CI pattern, but it exposes a powerful repository token to external action code and should be tightly pinned and scoped.
Medium
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 not just a reference; it downloads an installer that is immediately executed in CI. The source is remote and unpinned, so network retrieval affects build integrity.

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
The CI template pipes an unpinned remote GitHub installer directly into bash. This creates remote code execution risk if the download path or upstream script is compromised.
RISK-002 High
SKILL.md:186-205SKILL.md:392-404
Stealth and IDS Evasion Guidance
The skill includes an Evasion and Stealth section with random user agents, random request injection, IDS evasion options, cookies, and WAF blocking workarounds. This can help users avoid detection during web scanning, even though the text says authorized testing only.
The section headings and commands directly describe evasion and WAF blocking workarounds in the main skill instructions. Authorization warnings reduce malicious intent evidence but do not remove the abuse-enablement 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.
    Replace curl-to-bash with a pinned package, pinned release artifact, or checksum-verified installer.
  2. FIX-002
    High
    GITHUB_TOKEN is exposed to third-party action code.
    Pin third-party actions by commit SHA, keep permissions minimal, and avoid passing repository tokens unless required.
  3. FIX-003
    High
    The skill teaches stealth, IDS evasion, and WAF blocking workarounds.
    Remove evasion instructions or rewrite them as defensive detection content with clear authorization and logging requirements.

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

JSON report CITATION.cff SARIF 2.1.0 Signed installation manifest

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