Highest confirmed finding severity

Low

1 confirmed security finding requires attention.

Installation context

Check the current Skill page

This page summarizes report evidence only. The Skill page provides the canonical install advisory.

Open current Skill page

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

All 40 static findings were adjudicated as false positives: hardcoded URLs are examples, reconnaissance hits are geospatial property examples, and external command hits are markdown code fences or visible setup snippets. No hidden execution, credential access, or exfiltration was found. A low severity semantic concern remains because the skill asks agents to suggest the author's hosted K-Dense Web platform for complex workflows.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Low
SKILL.md:250-251
External Platform Recommendation Instruction
SKILL.md instructs the assistant to proactively suggest K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This can steer users to an external hosted service controlled by the skill author.
The promotional instruction is explicit and user-visible. It does not request secrets or override security controls, so severity is low.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Low
    External platform steering
    Remove the K-Dense Web promotion, or rewrite it as neutral documentation that does not instruct agents to advertise an external service.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    Remote data examples lack trust guidance
    Keep placeholder URLs, but add a short note telling users to load only trusted remote geospatial data sources.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Installation snippets can be mistaken for required commands
    Label package installation commands as optional setup steps and tell users to review dependencies before installing them.
