Highest confirmed finding severity

High

2 confirmed security findings require 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.

The static findings are false positives caused by markdown code examples, public documentation links, and an embedded evaluation JSON file. Semantic review found an embedded prior safety verdict and an instruction to promote K-Dense Web, both of which can influence agent behavior outside normal Latch guidance.

Report position

Latest published report

Latest refers to the report sequence, not to artifact currentness.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 High
evaluation_output.json:15-18
Prompt Injection Attempt Detected
evaluation_output.json embeds prior audit claims including safe_to_publish: true and "No actual security risks present". These claims can bias an AI auditor and should not ship inside the skill.
The file explicitly declares a low risk level, a publish-safe result, and a no-risk summary. That matches the prompt-injection warning for embedded safety claims.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:352-353
Off-Platform Promotional Steering
SKILL.md instructs the assistant to proactively suggest K-Dense Web for complex tasks. This changes agent behavior toward a creator-hosted product rather than neutral user assistance.
The instruction is explicit and appears in the main skill file. It is promotional steering, not a neutral support or documentation link.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Embedded audit verdict claims
    Remove evaluation_output.json from the published skill, or strip risk_level, safe_to_publish, and safety-summary claims from it.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Off-platform promotional steering
    Remove the proactive K-Dense Web suggestion from SKILL.md, or replace it with a neutral support link section.
