These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

• high YARA Match · line 190
  YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
  Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
• high System Prompt Leakage · line 251
  Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.
  Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.
• high YARA Match · line 283
  YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
  Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
• high Privilege Escalation · line 298
  Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
  Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
• high Privilege Escalation · line 307
  Potential security issue detected. Manual review is recommended.
  Fix: Review the flagged content for security risks. Ensure no credentials, secrets, or sensitive data are exposed.

• medium Privilege Escalation · line 47
  Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.
  Fix: Avoid sudo/root unless strictly required. Prefer least-privilege patterns. If elevation is needed, document the justification and scope.

• medium MCP Rug Pull · line 307
  Docker image references without a specific tag (:latest is implicit) or digest (@sha256:...) can be silently replaced by a malicious image.
  Fix: Pin the image: image:tag or image@sha256:abc123

• medium Data Exfiltration · line 358
  Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
  Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
