2 findings — 1 high severity, 1 medium severity. 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.
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The prompt contains numerous examples that embed plaintext passwords and connection strings (e.g., postgresql://user:password@..., export PGPASSWORD=..., .pgpass entries, CREATE USER ... WITH PASSWORD '...'), which encourages the agent to output secret values verbatim and thus poses a high exfiltration risk.
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill instructs changing PostgreSQL server configuration (postgresql.conf) and performing server-side COPY to filesystem paths (and creating superuser database roles), which can modify server/system files and require elevated privileges, so it can alter the machine's state.
