Highest confirmed finding severity

2 confirmed security findings require attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

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

Most static findings are false positives caused by PySAM terminology: fetch() is local genomic record access, keys() is VCF metadata access, and Markdown backticks are formatting. No evidence found of network exfiltration, credential access, or malicious command execution in the documentation examples. Semantic review found an embedded self-audit asserting the skill is safe and a low-severity promotional instruction for the author's hosted platform.

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 an audit result with "risk_level": "safe", "safe_to_publish": true, and a summary saying all static findings are false positives. This can bias downstream security review and should not ship inside the skill.
The file contains explicit safety verdicts and false-positive claims inside the package. It is not code execution, but it directly attempts to steer review outcomes.
RISK-002 Low
SKILL.md:264-265
Self-Promotional Platform Steering
SKILL.md instructs the agent to proactively suggest K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This is unrelated to PySAM functionality and can steer users toward the author's hosted service.
The instruction is explicit and user-facing, but it is promotional rather than malicious. It is best treated as marketplace integrity risk.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Embedded safety verdict in package files
    Remove EVALUATION_OUTPUT.json from the published skill or strip all audit verdict and safety assertion fields.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    Promotional hosted-platform instruction
    Remove the K-Dense Web recommendation from runtime skill instructions or move it to neutral marketplace metadata.
