vulnerability-pattern-matcher

Matches code against Project CodeGuard's catalog of known-dangerous patterns — banned C functions, weak crypto primitives, hardcoded credentials, deprecated APIs. Use when grepping for low-hanging security fruit, when enforcing a ban-list in CI, or when the user asks to check for known-bad patterns.

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

Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The skill explicitly directs the agent to emit the "matched pattern" for hardcoded credentials (file:line and matched text), which would require outputting secret values verbatim and thus risks exfiltration.
