Security

2 findings: 1 critical severity, 1 high severity. Installing this skill is not recommended: please review these findings carefully if you do intend to do so.

Critical

E006: Malicious code pattern detected in skill scripts.

What this means

Detected high-risk code patterns in the skill content — including its prompts, tool definitions, and resources — such as data exfiltration, backdoors, remote code execution, credential theft, system compromise, supply chain attacks, and obfuscation techniques.

Why it was flagged

The document provides explicit, actionable instructions to extract Z-Wave S0 network keys, capture/record DSKs and perform S2 MITM, and replay/inject frames (including door lock commands), enabling credential theft and unauthorized remote/physical device control.

Report incorrect finding
High

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 explicitly extracts Z-Wave S0 network keys in code and records the key hex into report metadata (s0_network_key_hex), which requires the agent to handle and output secret key values verbatim.

Low

Low-risk findings.

1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.

Low

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).

What this means

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.

Why it was flagged

The skill clones and later runs code from external git repositories (git clone https://github.com/BastilleResearch/scapy-radio and git clone https://github.com/AFcruzBR/EZ-Wave) and instructs downloading/executing the Silabs Zniffer binary (https://www.silabs.com/developers/z-wave), so remote content fetched from these URLs would be executed at runtime and are required dependencies.
