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.

Static findings for weak cryptography are false positives; the cited lines contain description text and argparse setup, not cryptographic algorithms. The skill still has confirmed high-risk behavior because it encourages black-box script execution and includes a helper that runs user-supplied server commands through a shell.

Capability review items (3)
High
User-Supplied Shell Command Execution
with_server.py passes the --server argument to subprocess.Popen with shell=True. A crafted server string can execute arbitrary shell operations in the caller environment.
The code explicitly uses shell=True with an argument supplied through the command line. The behavior is intentional, but it is still a clear arbitrary command execution surface.
Medium
Arbitrary Follow-Up Command Execution
with_server.py runs the remaining command-line arguments after servers are ready. This is expected for the tool, but it can execute unsafe commands if prompt input is untrusted.
The command is executed without shell=True, which reduces injection risk. It still runs arbitrary user-selected programs as part of normal operation.
Medium
Browser Output Written to Local Filesystem
Example scripts write console logs and screenshots to local paths. This is useful for debugging but can store sensitive page content outside the project.
The writes are explicit and local, so this is not exfiltration. The risk is moderate because captured browser content can include private data.

Risk findings

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

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 High
Prompt Injection Attempt Detected
SKILL.md instructs agents to avoid reading helper source before running it and to treat scripts as black boxes. This can suppress inspection of executable code before use.
The text directly tells the agent not to read source before executing helper scripts. It is suspicious in a marketplace skill because it can interfere with source inspection and safety review.

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 (2)
Low
Hardcoded Localhost URLs Are Benign Examples
The detected URLs point to localhost and are used as example targets for local web testing. No external data exfiltration endpoint is present.
All cited URLs use localhost and match the stated purpose of testing local web applications. I did not find evidence of remote collection or transmission.
Low
Weak Cryptography Alerts Are False Positives
The cited lines contain descriptive metadata and argparse option definitions, not weak hashing or cryptographic operations. No evidence found for cryptographic misuse.
The cited lines were reviewed directly and contain no cryptographic API usage. This is a scanner pattern mismatch.

Verify and export

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