## 3. Per-Scanner Detail

### agentshield (v1.4.0) — unavailable / n/a

No findings.

### cisco-skill-scanner (v2.0.11) — Verified / 95.5

- **[low] Hidden data file detected** — Hidden file found: .pre-commit-config.yaml. Hidden files may contain concealed configuration or data that should be reviewed. (/repo/.pre-commit-config.yaml:None)
- **[low] Vague skill description** — Skill description is too short (16 chars). Provide detailed explanation. (/repo/SKILL.md:None)
- **[informational] Skill does not specify a license** — Skill manifest does not include a 'license' field. Specifying a license helps users understand usage terms. (/repo/SKILL.md:None)

### agent-audit-kit (v0.3.26) — Caution / 83.0

- **[medium] No lockfile present** — A package manifest exists but no lockfile was found. Without lockfiles, dependency versions float and can be silently updated. (pyproject.toml:None)
- **[low] MCP server repo missing SECURITY.md or security_contact** — A repository whose name or pyproject keywords declare it as an MCP server ships without a top-level SECURITY.md AND without a 'security_contact' entry in marketplace.json / pyproject.toml / package.json. Anthropic's April 2026 SECURITY.md guidance makes this the baseline expectation so researchers have a channel. (SECURITY.md:None)
- **[medium] Third-party GitHub Action not pinned by full commit SHA** — A workflow in '.github/workflows/' uses a third-party Action ('owner/action@ref') where 'ref' is a tag or branch name instead of a 40-character commit SHA. A repo-takeover of the Action's publisher can re-point the tag to a malicious revision — the downstream repo consuming it will happily run the new code with 'GITHUB_TOKEN' and write permissions. GitHub's April 2026 Security Roadmap ships Immutable Actions and makes SHA pinning the default policy. (.github/workflows/publish.yaml:15)
- **[medium] Third-party GitHub Action not pinned by full commit SHA** — A workflow in '.github/workflows/' uses a third-party Action ('owner/action@ref') where 'ref' is a tag or branch name instead of a 40-character commit SHA. A repo-takeover of the Action's publisher can re-point the tag to a malicious revision — the downstream repo consuming it will happily run the new code with 'GITHUB_TOKEN' and write permissions. GitHub's April 2026 Security Roadmap ships Immutable Actions and makes SHA pinning the default policy. (.github/workflows/publish.yaml:42)

### bearer (v2.0.2) — Verified / 100.0

No findings.

### nerlo-behavioral (v0.1.0) — Verified / 100.0

No findings.

### nerlo-install-instruction (v0.1.0) — Verified / 100.0

No findings.

### trivy (v0.71.0) — Verified / 100.0

No findings.

### osv-scanner (v2.3.8) — unavailable / n/a

No findings.
