Highest confirmed finding severity

1 confirmed security finding requires attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

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.

Static analysis reported many high-risk matches, but the weak-cryptography and reconnaissance alerts are false positives from scientific review terminology and reference material. The only confirmed risk is legitimate external command guidance: the skill allows Bash and includes local Python command examples for schematic generation and slide conversion.

Limitations

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

Local Command Execution Guidance
The skill declares Bash support and gives Python command examples for generating schematics and converting presentation PDFs to images. This appears legitimate for the workflow, but marketplace users should know the skill can guide command execution against local files.
The command examples and Bash permission are explicit. I found no shell metacharacter injection pattern or secret access, so the risk is operational rather than malicious.

Reference URLs Are Not Active Network Behavior
The detected hardcoded URLs are citations to public reporting standards, not fetch calls or exfiltration endpoints. They are informational references used to support scientific manuscript review.
The URL lines are labeled as references in markdown. No evidence found of code that sends data to these URLs.

Risk findings

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

Static High-Risk Matches Are Scientific Review Terms
The weak-cryptography, system reconnaissance, and network reconnaissance alerts map to manuscript-review concepts such as bias, statistical power, reporting standards, and data availability. No evidence found of cryptographic operations, system probing, or network scanning.
The flagged lines are markdown guidance for scientific assessment. I found no executable scanner, cryptographic API, or reconnaissance workflow in the reviewed files.
