Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: legacy-service.local.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Hosts contacted

    legacy-service.locallocal

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe at 124d8c735e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The n8n-security-testing skill enables AI agents to automatically scan and evaluate the security posture of n8n workflow automations. It identifies misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and potential vulnerabilities within your automation logic before they can be exploited.

When to use it

  • Before deploying a new n8n workflow to production environments.
  • After modifying existing workflows that handle sensitive data or external API connections.
  • During routine security audits of automated business processes.
  • When integrating third-party nodes that may introduce unknown risks.

Key capabilities

  • Automated vulnerability scanning for n8n instances.
  • Detection of hardcoded secrets and API keys in workflow definitions.
  • Analysis of node configurations for insecure settings.
  • Identification of unauthorized external service integrations.

Example prompts

  • "Scan my current n8n workflows for any exposed API credentials or weak authentication methods."
  • "Run a security audit on the 'Customer Onboarding' workflow and report any misconfigurations."
  • "Check if any nodes in my automation are connecting to unencrypted endpoints."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your n8n instance is accessible for scanning, as the agent needs network permissions to inspect workflows. This skill complements but does not replace manual security reviews or penetration testing by human experts.
