CVE-2026-84810
Claude-Skill-Antivirus Improper Input Validation
Description

claude-skill-antivirus fails to analyze executable files when scanning local skill directories, reading only SKILL.md while ignoring Python source, bytecode, and other artifacts in the scripts directory. Attackers can distribute skills with malicious code in non-manifest files that receive a SAFE verdict with 100/100 trust score despite containing unanalyzed executable payloads.

CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0
CVSS 3.1 MEDIUM [email protected]
CVSS 4.0 HIGH [email protected]
Solution
Update antivirus to scan all file types and ensure proper trust scoring.
  • Configure antivirus to scan all script artifacts.
  • Update trust scoring to include unanalyzed files.
  • Implement static analysis for executables.
  • Scan local skill directories thoroughly.
