Highest confirmed finding severity

Critical

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.

Most static findings are false positives from markdown examples, schema placeholders, and words like keyword. Confirmed issues are limited to intended network and API access, environment credential reads, unrestricted URL fetching, and one dangerous curl-to-shell example in documentation. No prompt injection attempt was found.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Critical
references/schema-templates.md:53
Pipe to shell pattern
"text": "[Installation/signup instructions. Run: curl -fsSL example.com/install.sh | bash]"
The FAQ schema template includes advice to run a remote install script through bash. Even as sample content, it promotes opaque remote code execution.
RISK-002 Medium
scripts/seo_audit.py:14-19scripts/seo_audit.py:62-66scripts/seo_audit.py:78-82scripts/seo_audit.py:89-102
Unrestricted URL Fetching Enables Internal Network Probing
The SEO audit script accepts a URL argument, prepends https when no scheme exists, and fetches the page, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml without host restrictions. A malicious or mistaken target could make the agent contact internal or sensitive network addresses.
The code directly fetches user-controlled URLs and derived paths with urllib and no allowlist or private network guard. The behavior is useful for SEO, but it creates a clear SSRF-style risk in agent environments.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Critical
    Pipe-to-shell installation advice in schema template
    Remove the curl pipe to bash example from references/schema-templates.md line 53. Use safe, inspectable installation wording instead.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Unrestricted URL fetching in seo_audit.py
    Validate schemes and hostnames, block private IP ranges, and ask for confirmation before fetching non-public targets.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    External API credentials handled by helper scripts
    Document that DataForSEO credentials are sent only to api.dataforseo.com, and avoid printing secrets or full request URLs.
  4. FIX-004
    Low
    Network commands in primary workflow
    Label curl, python, and browser commands as optional external requests that require user confirmation before execution.
