Overview

This is a legitimate-looking local security scanner, but its scanner and installer have broad or unsafe edge cases that users should review before trusting it.

Use this only with clear intent to install a security-scanning skill into your agent environment. Prefer a pinned or manually verified install, avoid the global multi-agent install mode unless you need it, do not treat generated badges as proof of a completed audit, and avoid scanning untrusted tarballs or symlink-heavy directories until the archive extraction and traversal issues are fixed.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• 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

Error

• Location: scripts/yotta_verify.py:493
• Finding: Tarball extraction can escape the temporary scan directory through link entries<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/yotta_verify.py:493-500` **Vulnerability Type**: Unsafe archive extraction **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```python def _safe_extract(tf, dest): """Extract a tarball with manual path-traversal protection.""" for member in tf.getmembers(): name = member.name if name.startswith(("/", "\\")) or ".." in Path(name).parts: raise ValueError("tarball contains dangerous path: %s" % name) tf.extractall(dest) ``` ### Technical Analysis The validation only inspects the textual name of each archive member. It does not reject symbolic links, hard links, device entries, or other special members, and it does not verify where a link target resolves. A malicious archive can therefore contain a link whose member name appears safe but whose target points outside the temporary extraction directory. A later archive member can then write through that link. This defeats the intended parent-directory and absolute-path checks. The implementation supports Python 3.8+, where safe extraction filters are not consistently available by default, making explicit validation necessary. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker creates a `.tgz` or `.tar.gz` package containing a symbolic-link or hard-link entry. 2. The link member has a benign relative name and therefore passes the `name.startswith()` and `Path(name).parts` checks. 3. The link target resolves outside the temporary extraction root. 4. A subsequent archive member is extracted through the link. 5. `tarfile.extractall()` writes the member outside the intended temporary directory. 6. The overwrite occurs when a user merely asks the tool to scan the attacker-controlled archive. ### Impact Assessment The attacker may create or overwrite files accessible to the account running the scanner. The exact impact depends on filesystem permissions and the chosen target, but can include modification of user configuration, Agent skill fil ...[truncated 188 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Do not call unrestricted `extractall()` on untrusted archives. - Reject symbolic links, hard links, device nodes, FIFOs, and other non-regular entries unless they are explicitly required. - Resolve the destination of every member and require it to remain beneath `Path(dest).resolve()`. - Validate both member paths and link targets. - Extract regular files individually after validation. - Add regression tests for: - Absolute member paths - Parent-directory traversal - Symbolic-link traversal - Hard-link traversal - Link chains - Special filesystem entries - Consider scanning tar members directly without extracting them to disk. ]]>

• Location: scripts/yotta_verify.py:148
• Finding: Directory scanning follows symbolic links outside the authorized target<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/yotta_verify.py:148-170` **Vulnerability Type**: Filesystem boundary violation through symbolic links **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```python def walk_files(root, base=""): """Recursively collect scannable text files.""" out = [] try: entries = sorted(root.iterdir()) except OSError: return out for entry in entries: if entry.name in SKIP_DIRS or entry.name in SIGNATURE_DATA_FILES: continue rel = entry.name if not base else base + "/" + entry.name if entry.is_dir(): out.extend(walk_files(entry, rel)) elif entry.is_file(): try: size = entry.stat().st_size except OSError: continue if size > MAX_FILE_SIZE: continue if entry.name.startswith("test_") and entry.name.endswith(".py"): continue if is_text_file(entry.name): out.append((entry, rel)) ``` ### Technical Analysis `Path.is_dir()`, `Path.is_file()`, `Path.stat()`, and later file reads follow symbolic links. The scanner does not call `entry.is_symlink()`, does not verify that `entry.resolve()` remains under the original target root, and does not track visited filesystem objects. An attacker-controlled package can consequently include a symlink to a file or directory outside the package. The scanner may recurse into that location and read external files as though they belonged to the package. A cyclic directory symlink can also cause repeated recursion until the operation fails from resource exhaustion or recursion depth. ### Attack Path 1. The attacker places a symbolic link inside a package directory. 2. The link points to a sensitive file, sensitive directory, or ancestor directory on the scanner host. 3. The user scans the package. 4. `entry.is_dir()` or `entry.is_file()` follows the link. 5. `walk_fil ...[truncated 726 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Reject symbolic links during package scanning: ```python if entry.is_symlink(): # Emit an explicit finding or skip with a warning. continue ``` - Store the resolved scan root once and require every candidate path to remain beneath it. - Use `Path.relative_to()` after resolution to enforce containment. - Avoid following directory links during recursive traversal. - Track visited device and inode pairs where supported to prevent cycles and duplicate traversal. - Emit a visible finding whenever a link is skipped; do not silently issue a complete-scan verdict. - Add tests for file symlinks, directory symlinks, links to parent directories, broken links, and recursive link cycles. ]]>

• Location: scripts/yotta_verify.py:148
• Finding: Global filename exclusions allow malicious package content to bypass scanning<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/yotta_verify.py:78, 148-168` **Vulnerability Type**: Fail-open security scanner exclusion **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```python SIGNATURE_DATA_FILES = { "verify_rules.py", "audit_rules.py", "vetter_rules.py", "hardening_rules.py", } ``` ```python for entry in entries: if entry.name in SKIP_DIRS or entry.name in SIGNATURE_DATA_FILES: continue rel = entry.name if not base else base + "/" + entry.name if entry.is_dir(): out.extend(walk_files(entry, rel)) elif entry.is_file(): try: size = entry.stat().st_size except OSError: continue if size > MAX_FILE_SIZE: continue # Test files are treated as signature/test data. if entry.name.startswith("test_") and entry.name.endswith(".py"): continue ``` ### Technical Analysis The scanner exempts files using only attacker-controlled basenames. The exemptions are not restricted to the scanner's own trusted repository paths and are not bound to expected file hashes. Any scanned package can therefore hide executable code under names such as: - `verify_rules.py` - `audit_rules.py` - `vetter_rules.py` - `hardening_rules.py` - Any Python filename matching `test_*.py` Entire directories listed in `SKIP_DIRS`, including `node_modules`, are also omitted. These locations can contain executable package code and lifecycle scripts. Because skipped files are absent from both findings and the content hash, the resulting report can incorrectly claim that malicious content is safe. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker places a malicious payload in `verify_rules.py`, `test_payload.py`, or another globally excluded name or directory. 2. The malicious file remains part of the installable package and may be imported or executed by the package. 3. The victim scans the package before installation. 4. `walk_files()` silently excludes ...[truncated 629 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Remove global basename-based exclusions for untrusted scan targets. - Scan test files and dependency directories when they are included in the installable artifact. - If self-scan suppression is required, restrict it to exact repository-relative paths and verify expected content hashes. - Prefer suppressing findings on known signature declarations rather than excluding entire files. - Include every packaged file in the content hash, even if content scanning is intentionally limited. - Emit an explicit incomplete-scan finding for every excluded file or directory. - Add adversarial tests proving that malicious code remains detectable when named `verify_rules.py`, `test_payload.py`, or placed under `node_modules`. ]]>

• Finding: Files larger than one megabyte are silently omitted from scanning and content hashing<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/yotta_verify.py:160-165` **Vulnerability Type**: Scanner bypass through file-size padding **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```python elif entry.is_file(): try: size = entry.stat().st_size except OSError: continue if size > MAX_FILE_SIZE: continue ``` The configured limit is: ```python MAX_FILE_SIZE = 1_000_000 ``` ### Technical Analysis Any file larger than 1,000,000 bytes is silently excluded from the collected file list. No warning or security finding indicates that the scan was incomplete. `build_content_hash()` operates only on the files returned by `walk_files()`. Consequently, oversized files are omitted from both threat detection and the integrity hash. An attacker can pad an otherwise small malicious script with comments, whitespace, or embedded data until it exceeds the limit. ### Attack Path 1. The attacker creates a malicious executable or instruction-bearing file. 2. The attacker pads the file beyond 1,000,000 bytes. 3. The victim scans the package. 4. The size check silently skips the file. 5. The scanner neither examines nor hashes it. 6. The package may receive a safe verdict despite retaining the executable payload. 7. The payload executes later through the package's normal entry point or import path. ### Impact Assessment The scanner can produce a misleading verdict and incomplete content hash. If the excluded file is later executed, its privileges are those of the invoking user or Agent process. This is particularly significant for JavaScript bundles, generated Python files, shell scripts containing embedded data, and other legitimate package formats that can exceed one megabyte. ]]>
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Never silently treat an oversized file as successfully scanned. - Include all package files in the content hash regardless of analysis limits. - Emit at least a medium-severity incomplete-scan finding for oversized executable, configuration, or instruction-bearing files. - Fail closed in CI gate mode when security-relevant content cannot be analyzed. - Consider streaming line-by-line analysis rather than loading entire files. - Apply separate limits by file type and analyze executable headers and initial content even when full scanning is impractical. - Report the path, size, reason for omission, and resulting coverage percentage. - Add a regression test using a padded malicious script larger than the configured limit. ]]>

• Finding: Audited badge generation defaults to SAFE without successful scan evidence<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/yotta_verify.py:794-813` **Vulnerability Type**: Security attestation spoofing **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```python def cmd_badge(args): extra = { "validate": getattr(args, "validate_skill", None), "vetter": getattr(args, "vetter_verdict", None), "audit": getattr(args, "audit_verdict", None), "version": getattr(args, "version", None) or VERSION, "tests": getattr(args, "tests", None), } # If a directory is given, scan it; otherwise default to SAFE. if args.path and Path(args.path).exists(): findings, counts, verdict, meta = scan_core( args.path, name_hint=_name_hint(args.path) ) else: verdict = VERDICT_SAFE counts = {s: 0 for s in _SEVERITY_ORDER} svg, url = build_badges(verdict, extra) ``` ### Technical Analysis The `badge` command accepts an optional path. If no path is supplied, or if the supplied path does not exist, the function assigns `SAFE TO INSTALL` without performing a scan. The generated badge visually represents a positive security verdict but contains no cryptographic binding to a target, scan report, content hash, tool invocation, or timestamp. This allows an unaudited or malicious package to display an official-looking safe badge. ### Attack Path 1. A package author runs the badge command without a target or with a nonexistent target. 2. The command performs no scan. 3. The fallback branch assigns `SAFE TO INSTALL`. 4. The tool creates a local SVG and Shields URL displaying the safe verdict. 5. The author publishes the badge in documentation for an unrelated or malicious package. 6. Users rely on the badge as evidence of a successful audit and install the package. ### Impact Assessment The flaw can mislead users and CI reviewers into trusting software that was never scanned. The badge itself grants no system privileges, but it weakens a security decis ...[truncated 108 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Require an existing target for positive badge generation. - Return a usage error when the target is absent or invalid. - If no scan evidence is available, generate an explicit `UNVERIFIED` badge rather than `SAFE TO INSTALL`. - Bind badge data to: - The target content hash - Tool version - Scan timestamp - Verdict - Rule-set version - Support badge generation from a signed or verifiable prior report. - Do not allow caller-provided external verdicts to appear as verified unless corresponding evidence is supplied. - Add tests ensuring absent and nonexistent paths cannot produce a safe badge. ]]>

T08 · Insecure Dependencies

Warning

• Location: README.md:98
• Finding: Recommended installation commands execute an unpinned remote npm package<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `README.md:98-108` **Vulnerability Type**: Unpinned remote package execution **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```text ### Method 1: npm one-liner (recommended) # Optional China mirror: npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com npx -y @yottameta/yotta-verify --agent <agent-name> npx -y @yottameta/yotta-verify --dir <your-skills-dir> ``` ### Technical Analysis The recommended command uses `npx -y` without an exact package version or integrity constraint. It downloads and executes whichever version the configured registry currently resolves for `@yottameta/yotta-verify`. The `-y` option suppresses the normal interactive confirmation. The optional registry mirror adds another supply-chain trust point whose package state may differ from the canonical npm registry. Although no malicious dependency is present in the audited repository, the documented process allows future remote package contents to change after this review. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the package publisher account, registry resolution, mirror, or a future release process. 2. A modified package version is published under the same package name. 3. A user follows the recommended unversioned `npx -y` command. 4. npm resolves and downloads the modified package. 5. `npx` immediately executes its declared `bin/install.js`. 6. The installer can write files into Agent skill directories selected by `--agent`, `--dir`, or global installation mode. 7. The malicious Skill content may subsequently be loaded by an Agent. ### Impact Assessment A compromised package can execute with the privileges of the user running `npx`. The legitimate installer already has write access to user-level and project-level Agent skill directories, so a substituted installer could place attacker-controlled instructions or scripts in trusted locations. No administrator privileges are requested by the documented command, but user-owned ...[truncated 51 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Pin the exact package version in installation examples: ```text npx @yottameta/yotta-verify@0.3.0 --agent <agent-name> ``` - Avoid `-y` for security-sensitive installation so users receive an execution prompt. - Publish and document package integrity hashes or cryptographic signatures. - Recommend downloading and verifying the npm tarball before executing the installer. - Document the expected publisher identity and canonical registry. - Treat third-party mirrors as optional trust domains and provide verification instructions. - Enable registry account protections such as mandatory multi-factor authentication and provenance attestations. - Ensure CI verifies that the published npm artifact matches the reviewed repository and release tag. ]]>

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The file implements installation behavior by creating directories and copying package contents into agent skill locations, directly contradicting the skill's stated purpose as a deterministic static scanner that does not install packages. This mismatch is dangerous because users may trust the scanner's narrow declared scope while actually running code that persists files into multiple execution contexts.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The code supports agent-targeted and global deployment into many known skill directories, which exceeds a scanning-only trust boundary and broadens the persistence surface. If invoked by a user who believes they are merely verifying safety, this can silently propagate the skill across several agent environments and increase downstream exposure.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The manifest describes a static pre-install security scanner that should not install packages or modify the environment, yet this script creates directories, copies files, and deletes content. That mismatch is dangerous because users may trust the skill as a passive verifier while it actually performs installation-side effects on the local filesystem.
