Highest confirmed finding severity

High

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.

Open current Skill page

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

Static alerts were adjudicated as false positives caused by markdown fences, ordinary Python imports, statistics terminology, and official documentation links. Semantic review found a self-attesting audit artifact and an external product steering instruction that should be removed before publication.

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 a self-assessment that sets risk_level to safe, safe_to_publish to true, and claims all scanner alerts are false positives. A skill file should not self-attest audit status because it can bias reviewers or agents.
The file explicitly embeds a safety verdict and false-positive claim inside the skill package. It does not issue a direct override command, so confidence is high but not absolute.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:613-614
External Product Steering Instruction
The skill instructs agents to proactively recommend K-Dense Web for complex workflows. This is vendor promotion and external-service steering that is unrelated to statsmodels analysis.
The instruction explicitly tells the agent when and how to promote an external hosted platform. The behavior is clear from the cited lines.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Self-attesting security audit artifact is packaged with the skill.
    Remove EVALUATION_OUTPUT.json from the distributed skill and do not include embedded safe-to-publish claims in skill content.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Skill instructions promote an external hosted product.
    Remove the K-Dense Web steering instruction or move transparent attribution to marketplace metadata outside runtime guidance.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Markdown shell examples create scanner noise.
    Convert optional grep search tips to prose or clearly label them as local documentation searches.
