2 findings: 1 high severity, 1 medium severity. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.

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 includes a command that embeds an API key on the command line (zap.sh -daemon ... -config api.key=<your_key>), which would require including secret values verbatim in generated commands and is an insecure pattern.

Medium

W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.

What this means

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.

Why it was flagged

The skill includes explicit instructions to run sudo commands, install packages, and start system services (e.g., apt install, systemctl start, airmon-ng monitor mode), which request elevated privileges and modify the host system state.
