Is xxe-xml-external-entity safe to install?

Yes — xxe-xml-external-entity is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file xxe-xml-external-entity ships from SurrealSky/hack_skills on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it F.

What the reviewer found

An XXE penetration-testing playbook from a bug-bounty skills collection, describing attack techniques and candidate file-read targets for authorized testing rather than code the skill itself executes. The flagged HTML comment is inline documentation inside an example XML payload, not a hidden instruction to the agent.

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 3things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 3 as false.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
