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

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.

Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but review found the skill is a Markdown guidance file with TypeScript examples rather than runnable scripts. Most detections are false positives from code fences, relative imports, environment-variable configuration, and resource links. One backend example teaches dynamic SQL identifier construction from object keys, so the skill should publish with a security warning.

Medium
SKILL.md:267-282
Unsafe Dynamic SQL Update Example
The repository update example builds a SQL SET clause from Object.keys(updates) and interpolates each field name into the query. Values are parameterized, but column names are not allowlisted, so copying this pattern can create SQL injection risk if request bodies are mapped into updates.
The vulnerable pattern is visible in the example: object keys become SQL identifiers before query execution. It is documentation rather than active code, so the risk is unsafe guidance rather than direct exploitation of this skill.
Low
SKILL.md:99
Broad Network Binding Example Requires Deployment Review
The Fastify example binds to 0.0.0.0. This is common in containers but exposes the service on all interfaces if copied into a reachable host without firewall or ingress controls.
The pattern is explicit and can be risky in some deployments. It is also legitimate for containerized services, so severity is low in this documentation context.

Static Findings Are Mostly Documentation False Positives
The external command, filesystem traversal, prototype manipulation, network URL, credential access, and weak-crypto detections occur inside Markdown examples or ordinary documentation. Examples include TypeScript code fences, relative imports, Object.setPrototypeOf for Error subclassing, environment-variable configuration, and links to public framework documentation.
The reviewed locations are clearly Markdown documentation and TypeScript examples. I found no executable installer, script file, hidden network call, prompt injection text, or instruction to exfiltrate secrets.
