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 findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences and inline KQL examples being interpreted as shell backticks. The real risks are the documented Azure CLI fallback commands and ADX REST call, which are legitimate for this data-analysis skill but require explicit authorization because they can query Azure resources.

Capability review items (6)
Medium
SKILL.md:193-194
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| List clusters | `az kusto cluster list --resource-group <rg-name>` |
This line documents Azure CLI commands for listing or showing Kusto resources. The commands are legitimate administration actions, but they are still external commands that can expose resource metadata.
Medium
SKILL.md:194-195
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| List databases | `az kusto database list --cluster-name <cluster> --resource-group <rg-name>` |
This line documents Azure CLI commands for listing or showing Kusto resources. The commands are legitimate administration actions, but they are still external commands that can expose resource metadata.
Medium
SKILL.md:195-196
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| Show cluster | `az kusto cluster show --name <cluster> --resource-group <rg-name>` |
This line documents Azure CLI commands for listing or showing Kusto resources. The commands are legitimate administration actions, but they are still external commands that can expose resource metadata.
Medium
SKILL.md:196-201
Ruby/shell backtick execution
| Show database | `az kusto database show --cluster-name <cluster> --database-name <db> --resource-g
This line documents Azure CLI commands for listing or showing Kusto resources. The commands are legitimate administration actions, but they are still external commands that can expose resource metadata.
Medium
SKILL.md:201-205
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The fenced bash example instructs use of az rest with database and KQL values, so it can execute an external command and query Azure data. This is legitimate for the skill but requires user authorization and careful parameter handling.
Low
SKILL.md:203
Hardcoded URL
--url "https://<cluster>.<region>.kusto.windows.net/v1/rest/query" \
The Azure CLI fallback posts to an ADX REST endpoint, which is intentional network access. The URL is a placeholder for a Microsoft Kusto cluster endpoint, not an unknown third-party destination.

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 commands can query or reveal Azure Data Explorer resource metadata.
    Require explicit user confirmation before running az kusto or az rest commands, and show the subscription, cluster, database, and query target first.
  2. FIX-002
    Low
    The REST query example accepts database and KQL values that may contain sensitive query intent or broad data access.
    Prefer MCP Kusto tools when available, apply least-privilege Azure roles, and add time filters or limits before executing exploratory queries.
