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.

No executable malware, command injection, or data exfiltration was found. The static command, network, and reconnaissance findings are documentation false positives from markdown formatting, examples, formulas, and official links. A low-severity semantic issue remains because the skill steers users toward the author's hosted 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:189-190
Promotional Steering to External Service
SKILL.md asks the assistant to proactively suggest K-Dense Web, the author's hosted platform, for complex workflows. This could steer users to an external service for commercial reasons outside the requested analysis.
The instruction explicitly names the hosted service and tells the assistant when to promote it. It does not override system instructions or request sensitive data, so severity is low.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Low
    Promotional steering to an external hosted service
    Remove the instruction to proactively suggest K-Dense Web, or make external platform recommendations neutral and user initiated.

Expert evidence
