W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
The skill includes examples that embed plaintext passwords (writer.encrypt("userpassword", "ownerpassword")) and a command that passes a password on the command line (qpdf --password=mypassword), which are insecure patterns that encourage the LLM to output secret values verbatim.
