testland/kingfisher-scanning
Configures and runs Kingfisher for secret scanning with access mapping: discovers leaked credentials AND maps them to the IAM identities and cloud resources they expose (S3 buckets, RDS instances, etc.); Intel Hyperscan regex engine makes it the fastest option for large monorepos; 950 built-in rules (largest of the OSS scanners); multi-target (local files / Git history / GitHub / GitLab / AWS S3 / Docker images); live API validation plus offline checksum verification; suppression via `--skip-regex` / `--skip-word` / `--baseline-file` / inline `kingfisher:ignore`. Use when cloud-blast-radius context matters or scan time on a large repo is blocking. Front-loads access-mapping and Hyperscan speed to differentiate from trufflehog-scanning, which also does multi-target scanning and live validation but offers no IAM access mapping.

1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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 includes a runtime install command that fetches and pipes remote code to a shell (curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mongodb/kingfisher/main/scripts/install-kingfisher.sh | bash), which executes untrusted remote code during setup/CI.
