1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
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.
The skill includes examples that embed plaintext passwords in CLI commands and in-code string literals (e.g., --password=mypassword and writer.encrypt("userpassword","ownerpassword")), which encourages handling and outputting secret values verbatim and is an insecure pattern.
