Highest confirmed finding severity

High

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 from Markdown fences, EC enzyme numbers, standard imports, credential setup docs, and local export helpers. One semantic concern remains: evaluation_output.json embeds audit-style safety claims that could bias automated review. No evidence found of credential exfiltration, shell execution, C2 behavior, or obfuscated code in the cited scripts.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 High
evaluation_output.json:15-18
Prompt Injection Attempt Detected
evaluation_output.json embeds audit-style claims such as "safe_to_publish": true and "All 395 static findings are false positives". These untrusted claims could bias review tools or human auditors.
The file does not issue a direct command, but it embeds marketplace safety verdicts inside source content. That matches audit-bypass claim patterns and should not be treated as authoritative.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Bundled self-audit file asserts marketplace safety.
    Remove evaluation_output.json from the published skill package or move it outside source artifacts.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    BRENDA credential examples mention .env configuration.
    Keep examples placeholder-only and document secret handling for BRENDA_EMAIL and BRENDA_PASSWORD.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Export helpers write to caller-provided file paths.
    Default exports to a dedicated output directory and document overwrite behavior for user-supplied filenames.
