Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

3 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.

Open current Skill page

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

The static findings are mostly false positives from Markdown code fences, code spans, example URLs, and relative documentation links. The real risk is operational: this skill authorizes a networked Firecrawl CLI to fetch user-provided URLs and optionally write output files, so users should review URLs and output paths before running it.

Confirmed security concerns (3)

RISK-001 Medium
SKILL.md:5-7SKILL.md:22-40
Network-Enabled External Command Execution
The skill permits Bash execution of firecrawl and npx firecrawl commands. This is expected for a scraping skill, but it can fetch arbitrary user-provided URLs through an external service.
The allowed-tools block and command examples directly authorize external CLI execution. The purpose is legitimate, but the commands perform network requests against user-provided URLs.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:24-30SKILL.md:36SKILL.md:53SKILL.md:62
User-Controlled Output Path
The command examples and option table allow an output path with -o or --output. The examples use .firecrawl paths, but a careless path could overwrite local files.
The file output option is clearly documented, but the examples steer users toward a local .firecrawl directory. The risk depends on the path chosen at runtime.
RISK-003 Medium
SKILL.md:39SKILL.md:47SKILL.md:57
Remote Query Mode May Send Page Questions Externally
The --query option asks a question about page content and costs extra Firecrawl credits. This may send the prompt and retrieved page content to the service.
The query feature is explicitly documented, but SKILL.md does not describe its transport or data handling details. The privacy concern is plausible because the skill uses a remote scraping CLI.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

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

Static false positives ignored (4)
Low
SKILL.md:22-40SKILL.md:46-53SKILL.md:57-62
Markdown Backticks Misclassified as Ruby Shell Execution
The reported backtick findings occur inside Markdown code fences or inline command references. They document CLI usage and are not Ruby code execution in this skill file.
The file is Markdown, and the matched backticks delimit examples or option names. No Ruby source file or executable Ruby expression is present.
Low
SKILL.md:33SKILL.md:39
Example URLs Are Benign Documentation
The hardcoded URL findings use example.com in usage examples. They do not indicate credential exfiltration, tracking, or a suspicious destination.
example.com is a reserved documentation domain and appears only in command examples. No hidden network endpoint or encoded destination is present.
Low
SKILL.md:66-68
Relative Links Misclassified as Path Traversal
The ../ paths are Markdown links to sibling skill documentation. They are not file reads, writes, or runtime path traversal operations.
The relative paths are link targets in the See also section. They do not execute code or access files at runtime.
Low
SKILL.md:3-4SKILL.md:44
Weak Cryptography Findings Are False Positives
The reported weak cryptography locations are front matter text and a Markdown table header. No cryptographic algorithm or hashing operation appears in the file.
The cited lines contain description text and option table formatting. I found no evidence of MD5, SHA1, DES, or another weak cryptographic operation.
