SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically scans GitHub repositories for security risks before any code is executed, preventing potential malware infections or data breaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Security Audits: Clones repositories into a sandbox and performs static analysis for malicious patterns, suspicious scripts, obfuscated code, credential exfiltration, and supply chain risks.
  • Trigger Detection: Activates automatically when GitHub URLs or requests to install/run remote code are detected.
  • Use Case: When a colleague shares a GitHub link and asks you to "run this script," this skill will first perform a security audit to ensure it's safe.

Quick Start

Use the repo-security-audit skill to scan the GitHub repository at https://github.com/example/repo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a GitHub repository for malware before running the code?

To scan a GitHub repository for malware before running the code, this Skill clones the URL into a sandboxed environment and uses static analysis to detect malicious patterns, obfuscation, and credential exfiltration.

What is static analysis for supply chain risks in GitHub repositories?

Static analysis for supply chain risks involves scanning dependency manifests and install hooks within a sandbox to detect suspicious scripts, obfuscated code, and credential exfiltration without executing the repository code.

How do I detect obfuscated code and credential exfiltration in remote scripts?

You can detect obfuscated code and credential exfiltration in remote scripts by running an automated security audit that uses grep and read tools to analyze install hooks and network patterns in a sandbox.

Does the security audit execute the repository code during scanning?

No, the security audit does not execute the repository code during scanning. It conducts static analysis in a sandboxed environment using tools like grep and read to identify malicious patterns safely.

Can I automatically trigger a security audit when a GitHub URL is detected?

Yes, a security audit can be triggered automatically when GitHub URLs or requests to install and run remote code are detected, ensuring the repository is scanned for malware before execution.
