omero-integration
1 finding (1 critical), mainly data exfiltration. Most recent scan 2026-10-21.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
Independent static run, no language model, over the same files as the Cisco scan above. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Inspects and automates microscopy data workflows against OMERO.server with omero-py, BlitzGateway, OMERO CLI, tables, annotations, ROIs, rendering, and documented OMERO.web APIs. Use this skill for scoped OMERO inventory, metadata export, import/export planning, or reviewed write workflows.

- Requires network access to a user-selected OMERO.server for remote operations. The server-tested snapshot uses OMERO.py 5.22.1 with ZeroC IcePy 3.6.5; OMERO supports Python 3.10-3.12 (3.12 recommended) while 3.13-3.14 remain upcoming in its support matrix. Bundled local planners require Python 3.10+ and read only named OMERO_* variables; they never load .env files.
SKILL.md covers: OMERO Integration · Verified Baseline · Operating Contract · Choose the Interface · Install a Reproducible Client · Download the matching 3.6.5 wheel from the official OMERO-linked matrix. · Credentials and Connection · Supply OMERO_PASSWORD through the environment/secret manager, or use · OMERO_SESSION_KEY as an alternative. Do not echo either value. · Bundled Safe Helpers · Capability Guide · Final Review Before Remote Work

Package contents recorded 2026-10-22 at commit 593377bb0487. The scan above ran against the version current at scan time; the two can differ if the skill has since been updated.
What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Bytecode analyzer.
- Pipeline analyzer.
- Correlation analyzer.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
