Grade D
Two or more Medium findings, or a High finding. Only try it in a sandbox.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit f3423f36cce6, unchanged since the check below.
OBFUSCATION_RUNS_ENCODED_PAYLOAD INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS
Why this grade
- OBFUSCATION_RUNS_ENCODED_PAYLOAD High
Decodes and runs an encoded payload (for example eval with atob or base64).
.agents/skills/git_scape_agent_skills_digest.txt, line 1
Repository: https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills/ - INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium
Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).
backend/README.md, line 104
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh - AGENT_IGNORE_INSTRUCTIONS Medium
Text tells the agent to ignore earlier instructions.
backend/app/skillforge/scan/rules/injection.py, line 124
# Korean - ignore previous instructions
Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.
If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.
Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

Install and update

install fetches a script from the network. README documents an installer that pipes a download into a shell.
