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

Check the current Skill page

This page summarizes report evidence only. The Skill page provides the canonical install advisory.

Open current Skill page

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

Nineteen findings are confirmed because command examples invoke the unpinned claude-flow package through npx, which may download and execute external code. The remaining findings are Markdown delimiters, inline labels, JavaScript examples, or documentation links and are false positives. No prompt injection or data-exfiltration intent was found.

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
    Unpinned package execution
    Pin every npx claude-flow example to a reviewed version, and state that users must approve network downloads before execution.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    State-changing command examples
    Add warnings and backup steps before force initialization, memory clearing, session imports, session stops, or other state-changing operations.
