Security audit

Dirs Submit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent, but it documents remote install and self-update flows that can replace local code while the CLI also stores account tokens.

Install only if you trust the ship CLI repository and release process. Prefer reviewing or pinning the installer, avoid casual self-updates, protect ~/.config/ship/config.json, and confirm the target site and URL before running submit commands.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly promotes browser login with persistent token storage and also documents environment-variable token usage, but it does not warn users about protecting tokens, file permissions, shell history/process exposure, or avoiding accidental disclosure. In an agent skill context, this increases the chance that credentials are stored or surfaced insecurely during automated use, leading to account compromise for the supported services.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The install instructions use `bash <(curl ...)`, which executes a remotely fetched script directly, and the README presents this without any warning or integrity-verification guidance. This is dangerous because a compromised repository, CDN, network path, or maintainer account could turn installation into arbitrary code execution on the user's system.
