Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

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.

Open current Skill page

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

Most static findings are false positives caused by LaTeX math, Markdown code fences, documentation links, and benign helper-script patterns. No prompt injection or malware intent was found, but the skill encourages default use of an external AI diagram workflow that may expose unpublished research details.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:31-35
Implicit External AI Diagram Generation
SKILL.md recommends using another schematic-generation skill by default for new documents. For unpublished manuscripts or grants, this can disclose research details to an external AI workflow without explicit consent.
The instructions explicitly direct users to another AI-powered schematic workflow and say new documents should generate schematics by default. The risk is privacy exposure rather than code execution, so confidence is high but not absolute.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    External AI schematic generation is suggested by default.
    Make schematic generation opt-in and require explicit user consent before sending research details to another skill or external model.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    Helper scripts can overwrite user-chosen output paths.
    Add overwrite prompts or refuse existing output paths unless a clear force option is supplied.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    PDF validation invokes local Poppler tools on user-supplied files.
    Document that untrusted PDFs should be validated in a sandbox and add subprocess timeouts.
