Cursor Rules are .cursorrules / .cursor/rules files that steer Cursor's AI; scanned with the same pipeline.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
115 critical findings reported by cisco-skill-scanner, agent-audit-kit, 110 of them in the installed artifact. The composite score alone does not reflect this — read the per-scanner reports below.
Cursor Rules are .cursorrules / .cursor/rules files that steer Cursor's AI. Review the scanned source before copying them into your own project.

4 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
Out of 337 findings across every scanner that examined this package. 4 of 115 findings rated critical by their scanner were among the dismissals.
Two keys had to turn. The model had to name a reason from a fixed list of six, and a deterministic check of ours — over which files this artifact actually installs — had to independently agree. Anything it could not corroborate is in “not reviewed” above, at full severity.

These findings are in files this artifact installs and are not placeholder values. No false-positive basis can be corroborated for such a finding, so this review never dismisses one; they were not sent to the model and stand at their scanner's severity.

Critical risks: command injection, credential access, and system modification.
The artifact exhibits critical command injection vulnerabilities, including through child processes and eval, which could lead to shell execution. It also has multiple instances of credential harvesting and secret exposure, particularly in `aura-redact` and `desktop/src-tauri` components. Path traversal issues in `desktop/src-tauri` could enable unauthorized file access, and system modification capabilities are present. Additionally, sensitive data handling and taint flow issues are noted across various modules.
Concern level assessed by the review: Critical. This is the review's scale, not the registry badge.
Showing 25 of 173; the rest are in the per-scanner reports above.
