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.

Most static external-command alerts are Markdown code fences or inline KQL terms and are false positives. The confirmed risk is limited to the Azure CLI and REST fallback instructions, which can execute local commands and make outbound requests to Azure Kusto. No prompt injection or malicious data-exfiltration intent was found.

Capability review items (6)
Medium
SKILL.md:193-194
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| List clusters | `az kusto cluster list --resource-group <rg-name>` |
The fallback section instructs agents to use Azure CLI commands against Azure Data Explorer resources. These commands can enumerate clusters or databases, so they are a real external-command risk even though they are legitimate administrative examples.
Medium
SKILL.md:194-195
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| List databases | `az kusto database list --cluster-name <cluster> --resource-group <rg-name>` |
The fallback section instructs agents to use Azure CLI commands against Azure Data Explorer resources. These commands can enumerate clusters or databases, so they are a real external-command risk even though they are legitimate administrative examples.
Medium
SKILL.md:195-196
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| Show cluster | `az kusto cluster show --name <cluster> --resource-group <rg-name>` |
The fallback section instructs agents to use Azure CLI commands against Azure Data Explorer resources. These commands can enumerate clusters or databases, so they are a real external-command risk even though they are legitimate administrative examples.
Medium
SKILL.md:196-201
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| Show database | `az kusto database show --cluster-name <cluster> --database-name <db> --resource-g
The fallback section instructs agents to use Azure CLI commands against Azure Data Explorer resources. These commands can enumerate clusters or databases, so they are a real external-command risk even though they are legitimate administrative examples.
Medium
SKILL.md:201-205
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The fallback section includes a bash Azure CLI REST command that can send KQL query payloads to an Azure Kusto endpoint. This is intended functionality, but it is real external command execution and should require user approval.
Low
SKILL.md:203
Hardcoded URL
--url "https://<cluster>.<region>.kusto.windows.net/v1/rest/query" \
The URL is an Azure Kusto REST endpoint placeholder, not an exfiltration domain. It still represents an outbound network request that can submit query text and receive data from Azure resources.

Risk findings

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

No confirmed security findings were recorded for this completed audit.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    Azure CLI fallback can execute local commands against cloud resources.
    Require explicit user confirmation before running Azure CLI commands, and show the resolved subscription, resource group, cluster, and database first.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Fallback commands use placeholder values that may come from user input.
    Validate or quote all substituted parameters before execution, and reject unexpected shell metacharacters in resource names.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    Direct REST fallback makes an outbound request to an Azure Kusto endpoint.
    Prefer MCP Kusto tools when available, and document that direct REST calls send query text to the selected Azure cluster.
