INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL

Why this grade

  • 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).

    skills/ci-secure/evals/files/many-findings/dot-github/workflows/publish.yml.fixture, line 15 - run: curl -sSf "$INSTALLER_URL" | bash

  • SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium

    Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).

    skills/ci-secure/references/security-patterns.md, line 569 - `~/.aws/credentials`: switch to short-lived OIDC credentials minted at job runtime — there is then no file to leak.

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.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    - run: curl -sSf "$INSTALLER_URL" | bash

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach api.github.com. The description does not name that host.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST

    maintainers/skills-registry-security/SKILL.md, line 145

  • Secrets

    Concern

    - `~/.aws/credentials`: switch to short-lived OIDC credentials minted at job runtime — there is then no file to leak.

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.

  • Obfuscation

    Note

    a file was over the read cap and was not fully read. the file cap was reached before every file was read.
