Highest confirmed finding severity

High

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.

The static command, filesystem, network, and token matches are documentation examples or placeholders in SKILL.md, not executable skill behavior. The main confirmed issue is a semantic workflow security concern: mutable @master action references in the security scanning template. Authors should pin actions, prefer short-lived cloud authentication, and include or remove missing referenced assets.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 High
Mutable GitHub Action References
The security scanning workflow recommends aquasecurity/trivy-action@master and snyk/actions/node@master. Mutable branch references can change without review and create supply-chain risk if copied into production workflows.
The file explicitly uses two third-party actions pinned to the mutable master branch in a security workflow example. This conflicts with the nearby best practice to use specific action versions.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Mutable third-party GitHub Action references
    Pin Trivy and Snyk actions to immutable commit SHAs or reviewed release tags, and update the examples to match the stated versioning guidance.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Long-lived AWS access key deployment example
    Prefer GitHub OIDC with cloud role assumption for AWS deployments, and scope permissions to the minimum required actions.
  3. FIX-003
    Medium
    Incomplete workflow permission coverage
    Set default read-only permissions and add scoped job permissions for packages, deployments, and security event uploads.
  4. FIX-004
    Low
    Referenced resources are not packaged
    Include the referenced asset and resource files or remove those references so users do not rely on missing material.

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.

Verify and export

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