Highest confirmed finding severity

Medium

2 confirmed security findings require attention.

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.

The static command, sensitive-file, and reconnaissance alerts are mostly false positives from markdown backticks, template text, validation errors, and zip packaging. No prompt injection or data exfiltration intent was found. Two local filesystem risks remain in the helper scripts: unvalidated output names and unfiltered packaging.

Report position

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.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
Unvalidated Skill Name Can Escape Target Directory
scripts/init_skill.py joins the user supplied skill name to the target path before creating files. A name containing path separators could write outside the intended output folder.
The script prints naming rules but does not enforce them before building skill_dir from argv. This is a direct local path traversal risk for untrusted input.
RISK-002 Medium
Unfiltered Packaging May Include Unintended Files
scripts/package_skill.py recursively writes every file under the selected skill directory into the .skill archive. A dirty folder could publish secrets, caches, or unrelated files.
The code includes all regular files returned by rglob without denylist, allowlist, or symlink checks. The archive is intended for distribution.

Remediation

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

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    Skill names are not validated before directory creation.
    Reject names that fail the documented hyphen-case pattern, contain path separators, or resolve outside the requested output directory.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    The packager archives every file under the skill directory.
    Add a default denylist for secrets, hidden VCS folders, caches, generated archives, and symlinks before writing the .skill file.

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.

Audit attestation: not_attestable
