Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

2 confirmed security findings require 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.

Most static findings are false positives from Markdown backticks, example.com URLs, and relative documentation links. The remaining risks are contextual: the skill permits unpinned npx execution and encourages skipping confirmation for bulk downloads.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:7
Unpinned NPX Command Execution
The skill allows Bash(npx firecrawl *), which can resolve and execute an npm package at runtime. This creates supply-chain and version drift risk for a network and filesystem tool.
The allowed-tools entry explicitly permits npx firecrawl commands, and no package version pin is shown. The risk depends on installer behavior, so confidence is high but not absolute.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:14SKILL.md:59
Automated Confirmation Bypass
The skill tells agents to always pass -y and says to use it in automated flows. This removes a confirmation safeguard before bulk downloads and local file writes.
The text directly instructs use of -y to skip confirmation. The skill also downloads many pages to disk, so the operational impact is clear.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    Unpinned npx Firecrawl execution
    Require a trusted installed Firecrawl CLI or pin the package version before allowing npx execution.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Confirmation prompt is bypassed by default guidance
    Remove the instruction to always pass -y and require explicit user approval for automated or large downloads.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Bulk downloads can write many untrusted files locally
    Recommend limits, include paths, and a dedicated output folder for every automated download.
