Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
- [SAFE]: The skill is entirely educational, providing best practices for API security without executing dangerous commands or accessing sensitive local data.
- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The documentation correctly identifies hardcoded secrets as a security risk and instructs developers to use environment variables (
process.env.JWT_SECRET) instead. No real credentials or API keys are included. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Code examples demonstrate safe patterns such as parameterized SQL queries and input validation using the Zod library to prevent injection attacks.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill references standard, well-known libraries (e.g.,
jsonwebtoken,bcrypt,helmet,zod) and provides links to reputable security resources such as OWASP and IETF. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: No network operations or data exfiltration patterns were detected. The examples focus on server-side logic and proper response sanitization to avoid leaking sensitive information (e.g., excluding
passwordHashfrom API responses).
