Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

1 confirmed security finding requires 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, JSON-LD templates, placeholder URLs, and words containing key. Real risks remain from outbound website audits, DataForSEO API communication, and environment-based API credentials. No prompt-injection evidence was found.

Python environment access
login = os.environ.get("DATAFORSEO_LOGIN")
The helper reads DataForSEO credentials from environment variables. This is intended, but it gives the skill access to user-provided API secrets when scripts run.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Medium
scripts/seo_audit.py:14-19scripts/seo_audit.py:62-66scripts/seo_audit.py:89-102
Unrestricted URL Fetching in SEO Audit Script
The audit script accepts a URL argument and fetches that page, then derives robots.txt and sitemap.xml URLs from the same host. Without host validation, running it in a privileged agent environment could reach internal services or attacker-controlled hosts.
The code directly uses user-provided URL input in urllib requests and derives additional URLs from that host. This is intentional SEO behavior, but the absence of host controls creates SSRF-style risk.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    The SEO audit script can fetch arbitrary user-supplied URLs.
    Validate URL schemes and hosts, block localhost and private IP ranges, limit redirects, and cap response size before fetching.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    A schema template includes a curl pipe-to-shell install example as placeholder text.
    Replace the install text with neutral signup guidance or a safer installation example that does not pipe remote content into a shell.
  3. FIX-003
    Low
    DataForSEO scripts read API credentials from environment variables and send requests to a third-party API.
    Document the outbound API use clearly, require explicit user consent before running paid API scripts, and recommend least-privilege credentials.
  4. FIX-004
    Low
    Command examples can trigger network requests when copied or executed by an agent.
    Mark command examples as optional, require target-domain confirmation, and remind users to run them only for authorized sites.
