Go Security Vulnerability

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it claims: help inspect and fix Go vulnerabilities using Go’s official tooling, with one install-step safety caveat.

Install this only if you are comfortable letting the agent install or use Go tooling on the machine. Prefer using an already-installed Go version or manually verify the downloaded Go archive checksum before extracting it into /usr/local.

Finding
The install step fetches a tarball over the network with curl and immediately pipes it into tar running as root in /usr/local, with no checksum or signature verification. This creates a supply-chain execution path unrelated to the core analysis task, so a compromised download source, MITM, or tampered artifact could lead to arbitrary code installation on the host.
