Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

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

The static command-execution and credential findings are mostly false positives from Markdown GitHub Actions examples. A real medium-risk issue remains because two third-party Actions are pinned to master, which can change without review.

Limitations

This report does not claim runtime or sandbox execution and does not prove the absence of side effects.

Evidence chain

Follow the evidence from source binding to the install contract. Available evidence supports verification; it is not a safety guarantee.

Capability review items (2)
Low
Workflow Secret Placeholders Are Documented Examples
The GitHub and AWS token references use GitHub Actions secrets syntax in workflow templates. This is expected for CI/CD examples, but users must manage these secrets securely.
The credential references are placeholders under GitHub Actions with: blocks. I found no evidence that the skill reads or exfiltrates local environment variables.
Low
Hidden GitHub Workflow Path Is Expected
The hidden path detection points to ./.github/workflows/reusable-test.yml. This is the standard location for reusable GitHub Actions workflows.
The path is a conventional repository workflow path. I found no evidence of hidden file harvesting or unauthorized filesystem access.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Medium
Unpinned Third-Party GitHub Actions
The security scan examples use aquasecurity/trivy-action@master and snyk/actions/node@master. Branch references can change without review and may introduce supply-chain risk in generated workflows.
The lines directly reference third-party Actions through the mutable master branch. This is a known CI supply-chain risk, although it appears to be an insecure template choice rather than malicious intent.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Static false positives ignored (3)
Low
Markdown Examples Misclassified as Shell Execution
The external command detections occur in Markdown code fences, resource references, or related skill names. I found no evidence that the skill itself executes Ruby, shell commands, or user-controlled input.
The cited lines are documentation or YAML workflow snippets inside SKILL.md. They are not executable code in the skill runtime.
Low
Placeholder Production URL Is Not Exfiltration
The hardcoded URL is a deployment environment example using https://app.example.com. I found no evidence of data transfer to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
The domain is the reserved example.com domain and appears inside a GitHub Actions environment field. It is documentation, not active network code.
Low
Weak Cryptography Detections Are Text Matches
The weak cryptography alerts appear to match ordinary words in the skill description, kubectl describe command, and related skill name. I found no cryptographic implementation.
The cited lines contain prose or Kubernetes commands, not hash, cipher, or signing logic. The static signal is a lexical false positive.

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
