Benos Bootstrap

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill does not appear to run harmful code, but it advertises real environment validation while its executable always reports success.

Treat this as Review rather than malicious. Install only if you understand it is effectively a placeholder and should not be relied on as a real bootstrap, health check, or safety gate until the advertised validation logic is implemented or the documentation is corrected.

Vague Triggers

Low

Confidence: 84% confidence
Finding: The markdown says the skill is invoked "during startup or manually when system validation is required" and gives the example "Run benos-bootstrap," but it does not define specific trigger phrases, scope limits, or exclusion conditions. That ambiguity could cause unintended invocation because "system validation is required" is a broad condition rather than a precise activation rule.
