scaffold
4 findings (1 critical, 1 medium, 1 low, 1 info), mainly obfuscation, social engineering, policy violation. Most recent scan 2026-10-22.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
SkillSpector found no issues but could not fully inspect the package, usually because SKILL.md refers to a file that is not present, so it fails closed to CAUTION instead of SAFE. Read it as "not fully checked", not as a finding. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
The skill's SKILL.md has no description field.

SKILL.md covers: Azure App Onboard Scaffold — IaC Generation + Self-Review · Quick Reference · When to Use This Skill · When NOT to Use · MCP Tools · Workflow · DETECT (Steps 1–4) · ACTION (Steps 5–12) · VALIDATE → MANIFEST → APPROVE (Steps 10–12.5) · Self-Healing Loop · Error Handling
Findings
CRITICAL Discovery and execution chain (find -exec) Command Injectionpipeline
The find command with -exec executes commands on discovered files. An attacker can use this to find and execute hidden malicious scripts.
scripts/scaffold-conformance.sh:21
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Scaffold -> Deploy conformance gate (bash twin of scaffold-conformance.ps1).
# Checks generated IaC against the plan for semantic defects `az bicep build` cannot catch.

# Usage: scaffold-conformance.sh <sessionPath> [infraPath]
# Output: JSON { passed, failures:[{id,detail,fMEDIUM Deeply nested file references detected Obfuscationstatic
Skill has file references nested more than 5 levels deep. This could be an attempt to hide malicious content in files that are only loaded under specific conditions.
SKILL.md
LOW Skill description is too short Social Engineeringtrigger
Description has only 3 words. Short descriptions may not provide enough context for the agent to determine when this skill should be used.
SKILL.md
INFO Strict manifest load failed; inert fallback scan used Policy Violationskill_loader
SkillLoadError rejected malformed or missing manifest metadata. The bounded package body was still scanned as inert content; manifest capabilities were not trusted.

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.
