Security audit

ZKGov

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

ZKGov is a disclosed HashKey Chain testnet governance helper with sensitive wallet and transaction behavior that matches its stated purpose.

Install only if you trust the external @zkgov packages and intend to use HashKey Chain testnet governance. Treat registration, proposal creation, voting, and finalization as explicit user-approved actions, use testnet-only keys, and protect ~/.zkgov/config.json and any ZKGOV_PRIVATE_KEY value.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The trigger text is overly expansive, including broad phrases like 'anything related to on-chain voting with privacy,' which can cause the agent to invoke this skill in situations the user did not clearly intend. Because the skill includes wallet-backed write operations, over-triggering increases the chance of unnecessary wallet inspection, registration, proposal creation, or voting flows being surfaced or attempted inappropriately.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill states that a wallet is auto-generated on the first write operation and can also be overridden by a private key environment variable, but it does not require an explicit user warning or consent before reaching private-key-backed behavior. In an agent setting, this is dangerous because users may not realize that invoking a governance action can create persistent credentials and initiate blockchain transactions with lasting effects.
