Security audit

Prepublish Privacy Scrub

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a legitimate privacy-scanning purpose, but its scrub command can overwrite files in place while the documentation claims backups are made.

Install only if you treat it as a scan-first helper. Do not rely on its backup claim; run it only on version-controlled or copied folders, review changes before publishing, and avoid using the scrub function on directories that contain binary or important non-skill files.

Finding
The documentation promises that original files are backed up before scrubbing, but the provided implementation rewrites files in place with Out-File and contains no backup step. This can cause irreversible data loss or destructive modification of source files if the scrubber over-matches, malfunctions, or redacts values that were needed for later recovery.
