testland/trufflehog-scanning
Configures and runs TruffleHog v3 - secret scanner with **live verification** (validates discovered secrets against provider APIs to confirm actual exposure vs entropy false positive); supports per-source subcommands (`git`, `github`, `gitlab`, `filesystem`, `s3`, `docker`, `gcs`, `postman`); `--results=verified` filter for high-precision output; `--exclude-detectors=TYPE` for noise reduction; exits 183 on findings via `--fail`. Use when the team needs verified secret findings (low false-positive rate) or scans across cloud + repo + container surfaces.

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 explicit runtime install/fetch commands that download and execute remote code (curl ... | sh to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog/main/scripts/install.sh and git clone https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git) and a pre-commit hook that pulls https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog, so these URLs are runtime external dependencies that execute remote code.
