Findings (22)

HIGH
Autonomous agent spawning
L1017

Detects autonomous sub-agent or cron-based execution without human oversight

autonomous execution + autonomous
FIX

Remove directives that force the agent to call specific tools or APIs not required for the skill's stated functionality. Tool calls should be determined by user intent, not embedded directives.

FP?

Likely FP if the skill legitimately needs to call other tools as part of its workflow (e.g., a deployment skill that calls git and cloud CLI tools).

MEDIUM
Runtime URL controls agent behavior
L502

Detects skills fetching external URLs to use as runtime instructions

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com + Commands
FIX

Pin the downloaded resource to a specific version or commit hash, and verify its integrity with a checksum (SHA-256). Avoid fetching scripts or binaries from arbitrary URLs at runtime.

FP?

Likely FP if the download URL points to a well-known CDN or package registry (e.g., npmjs.com, pypi.org) and is pinned to a specific version.

MEDIUM
Privilege escalation
L520

Detects privilege escalation patterns like setuid, chown root, or sudo with shell commands

sudo rm -rf
FIX

Avoid depending on packages that could be subject to typosquatting or name confusion. Verify package ownership, check download counts, and audit the package source before adding dependencies.

FP?

Likely FP if the flagged package is a well-known, high-download-count package from a verified publisher.

LOW
go install from remote
L460

Detects go install fetching and compiling arbitrary Go packages

go install github.com/steveyegge/beads/cmd/bd@
FIX

Pin Go install targets to a specific version (e.g., go install example.com/tool@v1.2.3). Avoid @latest as it fetches whatever is currently published.

FP?

Likely FP if the go install target is a well-known tool (e.g., golang.org/x/ packages) pinned to a specific version in documentation.

LOW
System package manager install
L476

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

brew install g
FIX

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
Global package installation
L477

Detects global installation of packages which affects the host system

npm install -g @
FIX

Replace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.

FP?

Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.

LOW
go install from remote
L478

Detects go install fetching and compiling arbitrary Go packages

go install github.com/steveyegge/gastown/cmd/gt@
FIX

Pin Go install targets to a specific version (e.g., go install example.com/tool@v1.2.3). Avoid @latest as it fetches whatever is currently published.

FP?

Likely FP if the go install target is a well-known tool (e.g., golang.org/x/ packages) pinned to a specific version in documentation.

LOW
Shell profile modification for persistence
L480

Detects instructions to modify shell config files for environment persistence

add Go binaries to PATH (add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
FIX

Avoid modifying shell profiles (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) programmatically. Instruct users to add PATH entries manually, or use a version manager (nvm, pyenv) instead.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation showing how to add a tool to PATH manually, especially if it only appends to PATH without modifying other settings.

LOW
System package manager install
L505

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

brew install g
FIX

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
System package manager install
L508

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

brew install t
FIX

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
System package manager install
L516

Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf

apt install -y g
FIX

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

LOW
Download binary or archive from URL
L519

Detects downloading binary, archive, or installer files from remote URLs

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.24.12.linux-amd64.tar.gz
FIX

Verify the integrity of downloaded binaries or archives using SHA-256 checksums or GPG signatures. Pin download URLs to specific versions and avoid fetching from unverified sources.

FP?

Likely FP if the download is from github.com or githubusercontent.com for a specific tagged release with documented checksums.

LOW
Runtime URL controlling behavior
L519

Detects URLs fetched at runtime that control or influence agent behavior without pinning

get https:// + instructions
FIX

Avoid loading configuration or behavior-controlling content from runtime URLs. Bundle required configurations locally or pin remote config to versioned, integrity-verified endpoints.

FP?

Likely FP if the URL in the match is a documentation link or example URL (e.g., example.com) rather than an actual runtime-fetched configuration endpoint.

LOW
Shell profile modification for persistence
L521

Detects instructions to modify shell config files for environment persistence

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
FIX

Avoid modifying shell profiles (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) programmatically. Instruct users to add PATH entries manually, or use a version manager (nvm, pyenv) instead.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation showing how to add a tool to PATH manually, especially if it only appends to PATH without modifying other settings.

LOW
