HIGH
Private data read with public output
L428

Skill can read private data (credentials, SSH keys, env vars) AND write to public channels (Slack, Discord, email). This combination enables data exfiltration.

[reads_private_data] read `~/.config/`, `~/.ssh + [writes_public_output] send messages to one provider (e.g., Discord
FIX

Break the toxic data flow by adding validation and sanitization between the input source and the sensitive operation. Do not pass untrusted data directly to file system, network, or execution APIs.

FP?

Likely FP if the data flow involves only trusted, hardcoded values and the taint analysis over-approximated the untrusted input sources.

HIGH
Conditional CI execution
L143

Detects conditional execution based on CI environment variables combined with dangerous commands

if `$GITHUB_TOKEN + subprocess
FIX

Pin all dependencies to exact versions with integrity hashes. Use lock files (package-lock.json, poetry.lock) and enable checksum verification in your package manager.

FP?

Likely FP if the match is documentation about dependency management best practices rather than actual unpinned dependency declarations.

LOW
Non-localhost remote MCP server URL
L87

Detects MCP server configurations connecting to non-localhost remote URLs

"url": "https://openai.com/blog/rss.xml"
FIX

Change the MCP server URL to localhost or a trusted internal endpoint. If a remote server is required, verify the domain ownership and use HTTPS with certificate validation.

FP?

Likely FP if the URL points to example.com, a documentation domain, or a well-known SaaS API endpoint (e.g., api.openai.com).

LOW
Non-localhost remote MCP server URL
L221

Detects MCP server configurations connecting to non-localhost remote URLs

"url": "https://myblog.com/rss"
FIX

Change the MCP server URL to localhost or a trusted internal endpoint. If a remote server is required, verify the domain ownership and use HTTPS with certificate validation.

FP?

Likely FP if the URL points to example.com, a documentation domain, or a well-known SaaS API endpoint (e.g., api.openai.com).
