Highest confirmed finding severity

Critical

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.

Open current Skill page

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

Most static hits are Markdown formatting or safe documentation links, not executable Ruby backticks. The real issues are the Quick Start command that pipes a remote installer into sh, the related-skill install commands, and the install note that reassures users after showing an unverifiable execution path.

Limitations

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

Evidence chain

Follow the evidence from source binding to the install contract. Available evidence supports verification; it is not a safety guarantee.

Capability review items (3)
Critical
SKILL.md:15-21
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The Quick Start code block includes a remote installer piped directly to sh and followed by login. This asks users or agents to execute network-delivered code before independent verification.
High
SKILL.md:17
Hardcoded URL
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login
The URL is used by the curl pipe-to-shell installer, so it retrieves executable content from the network and immediately runs it. This is materially riskier than a documentation link.
Medium
SKILL.md:113-131
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The Related Skills block recommends npx skills add commands that pull additional community skills outside this audit. That expands the trust boundary and may install unreviewed instructions.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Critical
SKILL.md:17
Pipe to shell pattern
curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login
Line 17 pipes a remote HTTPS installer directly into sh and continues to login. This is a classic remote-code-execution supply-chain pattern if the endpoint or transport is compromised.
RISK-002 High
SKILL.md:17SKILL.md:23
Unverified Remote Installer Recommendation
The skill recommends `curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login` and later reassures readers that the installer verifies checksums. That sequence still executes a remote script before the user can verify the binary independently.
The dangerous command and the trust-reassurance note are explicit in SKILL.md. This contextual install-flow risk is stronger than a raw URL match alone.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Remote installer is piped directly to a shell.
    Replace the curl-to-sh command with manual download instructions that verify the published checksum before execution.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Related skill commands install additional community skills from a remote source.
    Remove the npx install commands or add explicit review steps and links to separate audits for each related skill.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    The skill does not clearly explain external service data flow.
    Document that prompts, image URLs, and source images may be sent to inference.sh or model providers before users run examples.
