Confirmed finding summary

No confirmed security findings

The completed audit recorded no confirmed security findings. This is not proof that the Skill has no side effects.

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.

Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but review found the command and weak-cryptography hits are false positives from Markdown field names, XML examples, and metabolomics terminology. The confirmed risk is low: the skill directs users to external HMDB resources and includes an optional K-Dense Web promotion, with no evidence of hidden execution, exfiltration, prompt injection, or malicious intent.

Capability review items (2)
Low
SKILL.md:36SKILL.md:89
External HMDB Links Require User-Initiated Network Access
The skill points users to the HMDB website and downloads page for searches and datasets. These are expected references for an HMDB research skill, but they do involve external sites and should remain transparent to users.
The URLs are visible HMDB resources and are not hidden callbacks or exfiltration endpoints. The skill instructs users where to go rather than making automatic network requests.
Low
SKILL.md:195-196
Optional External Platform Promotion
The skill asks the assistant to suggest K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This is not malicious, but it is an author-controlled recommendation for an external service and should be treated as marketplace content risk rather than a security blocker.
The instruction is explicit and unrelated to malware behavior. It does not attempt to override system instructions or suppress review, but it may influence assistant recommendations.
