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.

The static analyzer reported many high-risk patterns, but review found they are markdown examples, CLI snippets, public links, and Latch SDK usage notes rather than executable skill code. No evidence found of malicious prompt injection, credential exfiltration, obfuscation, or hidden runtime behavior. The skill is low risk because it documents commands, cloud workflow execution, local file handling, and secret retrieval that users should run only in trusted projects.

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.

Static Command Findings Are Documentation Examples

The reported shell execution findings are markdown command examples and inline formatting. They document installing, initializing, registering, and executing Latch workflows, and they are not executable code inside the skill.

The cited lines are fenced markdown examples, not Ruby backtick execution or hidden shell calls. The commands are normal Latch CLI usage for this skill domain.

Low

references/data-management.md:59-68 references/resource-configuration.md:267-278

Filesystem Access Appears In Example Workflow Code

The filesystem findings are example snippets showing how Latch tasks read local input files, write output files, and use temporary task storage. This is expected for bioinformatics workflow documentation, but users should review paths before running generated workflows.

The file operations are contained in documentation examples and are limited to ordinary workflow input, output, and temporary storage paths. No skill file performs these operations automatically.

Low

references/data-management.md:374-380

Secret Retrieval Example Requires User Care

The environment access finding is a Latch SDK secret retrieval example using get_secret("api_key"). This is a legitimate secure-secret pattern, but generated workflows should avoid logging or returning secret values.

The reviewed context shows only a secret retrieval example and no network transmission or logging of the value. The residual risk is user misuse when adapting the example.

Risk findings

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

No confirmed security findings were recorded for this completed audit.

Public URLs And Promotional Link Are Not Exfiltration Evidence

The network findings are public documentation, repository, community, blog, and K-Dense Web links. No evidence found that the skill sends local data, credentials, or workspace content to these URLs.

The URLs are visible documentation or product links, and there is no executable request code. The K-Dense Web suggestion may influence user behavior, so it remains a low marketplace concern.

Dynamic Import And Weak Crypto Findings Are False Positives

The dynamic import findings correspond to normal Python import examples, and the weak cryptography findings appear to be scanner matches on unrelated bioinformatics text and decorators. No cryptographic operation or dynamic loader was found in the reviewed context.

The verified workflow lines show a static from-import statement. The cited SKILL.md lines describe verified bioinformatics workflows, not cryptography.

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
