Findings

MEDIUM Undeclared network usage Unauthorized Tool Usestatic

Skill code uses network libraries but doesn't declare network requirement

SKILL.md

Remediation: Declare network usage in compatibility field or remove network calls

MEDIUM Bash: tainted data flows to dangerous sink Data Exfiltrationbehavioral

Variable $ip (line 78) flows to `python3` at line 80.

scripts/test-messaging-connectivity.sh:80

if [ -z "$ip" ] && command -v python3 >/dev/null 2>&1; then

Remediation: Review the data flow from source to sink. Avoid sending sensitive or untrusted data to network or execution commands.

Package contents recorded 2026-10-22 at commit f49ac319a7d3. 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.
