Ward GitHub Repo i18n

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 3:53 PM UTC
• Version: 0.1.1

Overview

This skill is a scoped repository documentation localization helper with an offline audit script and explicit guardrails around user confirmation and remote changes.

Install only if you want an agent to inspect and edit selected repository documentation for localization. Confirm the exact files, locales, and any GitHub metadata changes before use, and do not authorize remote metadata writes unless you have reviewed the final description and topic list.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Patterns

• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
• MCP Least Privilege: Underdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 84% confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to inspect repositories, read multiple files, render previews, and perform browser-based GitHub-style preview and possible remote metadata verification, but it does not declare any explicit tool restrictions or permissions. That mismatch can let the runtime grant broader file-read or network access than a user expects, increasing the risk of unintended repository inspection, data exposure, or remote interaction beyond the confirmed scope.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Scope Creep

Low

• Category: Excessive Agency
• Confidence: 70% confidence

Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

## Locale matrix

Build a matrix from the user's requested locales and the selected repository files. Locale identifiers are not limited to Chinese; use the user's requested language and the repository's established naming convention.

| Locale | Default path | Mirror path | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 82% confidence

Finding

The CLI defaults --default-locale to en, which establishes English as the baseline locale for parity checks unless the user explicitly overrides it. This is a natural-language locale policy concern because it privileges a specific language by default without any opt-in or justification that the tool is intended for an English-primary workflow.
