Confirmed finding summary

No confirmed security findings

The completed audit recorded no confirmed security findings. This is not proof that the Skill has no side effects.

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 scientific review language or Markdown fences. Two examples intentionally invoke Python helpers through Bash, so external command execution should require confirmation and safe handling of user-provided files or text. No prompt injection, credential access, network exfiltration, or malicious intent was found.

Capability review items (2)
Medium
SKILL.md:36-38
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
This fenced bash example directs the agent to run a Python helper with a user-supplied diagram description. It is intentional external command execution and should require user confirmation and safe argument handling.
Medium
SKILL.md:398-401
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The presentation workflow instructs running a Python conversion helper against a user-provided PDF. That external command processes untrusted input and should be gated by confirmation or sandboxing.

Risk findings

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

No confirmed security findings were recorded for this completed audit.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    External Python helper commands appear in default review workflows.
    Require explicit user confirmation before running Bash commands, and pass user text or file paths as safely quoted arguments.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    The skill references helper scripts outside this package.
    Document required script locations and verify the expected helper before execution to reduce path spoofing or accidental failures.
