Ssh Deploy Skill

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a legitimate SSH deployment tool, but it needs Review because it can make broad remote server changes and automatically reads SSH configuration details without tight opt-in boundaries.

Install only if you intentionally want an agent-accessible SSH deployment tool. Review ~/.ssh/config exposure, use a dedicated least-privilege deploy account, enable strict host key checking for production, avoid storing passwords in inventory.json, and test any package-source or service-changing template on one non-production host before batch use.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The code automatically reads the user's global ~/.ssh/config and imports host aliases, usernames, ports, and referenced key paths into the skill's inventory without explicit opt-in. In a deployment skill, this expands data access beyond user-provided inventory and can expose sensitive infrastructure metadata, increasing the blast radius if the tool or its outputs are later compromised or logged.
