Security audit

Proflow

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This workflow skill is not malicious, but it can create repository files, alter .gitignore, and modify code from broad triggers without a clear approval gate.

Install only if you want an automation skill that may write project documentation, create local state files, modify .gitignore, and change code. Prefer invoking explicit proflow subcommands, keep the project under version control, review diffs after each run, and review the required openspec and superpowers skills separately.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly directs file reads and writes, status-file creation, log initialization, and .gitignore modification, but does not declare corresponding permissions. This creates a transparency and governance gap: an operator may trust the metadata while the skill performs repository mutations, increasing the risk of unintended file changes during execution.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The instruction to skip review stages and directly modify code for fixes or small features expands the skill from documentation/orchestration into autonomous code-changing behavior. Because the classification is based on loose prompt heuristics, a user request could be miscategorized and cause direct code edits without planning, review, or explicit confirmation, increasing the chance of unsafe or unauthorized changes.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill claims standardized document/archive outputs, but it also writes hidden state-tracking files and modifies .gitignore. Undisclosed repository mutations are security-relevant because they can conceal generated artifacts, alter repo hygiene, and make downstream auditing harder, especially when done automatically.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
The trigger conditions are broad enough that normal conversation about project workflows could invoke the skill unintentionally. In this context, accidental activation is more dangerous because the skill is designed to create files, mutate repository state, and potentially jump directly into code modification for some requests.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill omits a clear warning that it may automatically modify code and create files, despite instructing direct execution for some request classes. Lack of informed consent is especially risky here because users may expect documentation support but instead get repository and code mutations, which can damage projects or bypass normal review expectations.
