Skill Safety Verifier

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent skill-safety scanner, but its advisory lookup disables HTTPS verification, which can make its security results unreliable.

Review this skill before installing, especially the HTTPS handling in analyzer.py. Use it only with explicit skill paths or repositories you choose, prefer a pinned reviewed version, and treat its output as one input rather than a final security decision until TLS verification is fixed.

Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill describes capabilities including reading files, writing files, making network requests, and executing commands, but the manifest declares no explicit permissions or scope restrictions. This creates a trust gap where an installer or orchestrator cannot enforce least privilege, increasing the chance the skill is invoked with broader access than users expect.

Intent-Code Divergence

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The code explicitly disables TLS certificate and hostname verification before requesting GitHub advisories. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof the advisory API response, causing the tool to trust tampered vulnerability data and potentially mark malicious skills as safe or hide real dependency risks.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly states that SSL verification can be disabled and only labels it as 'not recommended for production,' which understates the real risk. Disabling TLS verification enables man-in-the-middle interception and tampering of advisory/API responses, which is especially relevant for a security tool that users may trust for risk decisions.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The trigger regex is broad enough to match many ordinary installation or safety-related conversations, which can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly. In a security-review skill, accidental auto-invocation may expose repository contents, initiate network lookups, or influence user workflows without a clearly intended request.
