Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan rates this skill benign with medium confidence: the scanners found no AIG issues, and the only reported finding is a low-probability credential-access match in text that says no GitHub access token is needed.

The verdict is benign, not risk-free, and confidence is medium. Skillspector’s analysis was partial: it scanned the Markdown component, but could not resolve four local path-like references. Consider this coverage gap and the credential-related text when deciding whether to install.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Prepared for the GitHub rollout; examples are representative, not production results.
Use `GET /v1/github/profiles/{username}` with your ScrapeBadger `X-API-Key`.
`username` is a login or `@handle`, never a profile URL. Accounts are global;
there is no market or language parameter and no GitHub access token is needed.
