path-traversal SKILL.md skillA
path-traversal from dannyan/secguard-clang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dannyan/secguard-clang/path-traversal@git:20261019.3855413Pins git:20261019.3855413 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Classify path-traversal evidence — a filesystem sink receiving a non-literal path argument. Maps to CWE-22.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Path Traversal Analysis (CWE-22) **What this is:** a filesystem call (`fopen`/`open`/`openat`/`opendir`/ `unlink`/`remove`/`rename`) receives a path that is **not a fixed string literal**. If an attacker can control that path, they can use `../` to escape the intended directory and read / overwrite / delete an arbitrary file. ### Evidence Pattern A path-traversal candidate has: - **path_traversal**: a filesystem sink whose path argument is not a string literal - **path_arg**: the path argument expression of the sink call - **call_path**: the function is reachable from an entry point - **taint_source** (when the pipeline proved it): a user-controlled value (getenv / argv / recv / scanf / fgets …) reaches the path argument - **callsite_census** (when the path argument is a function parameter): the in-tree call-site argument census for that parameter — `all-literal` means every caller passes a compile-time constant ### Hint Tokens (Verdict Basis) | Token | Meaning | Your action | |-------|---------|-------------| …

How to install
mdr add dannyan/secguard-clang/path-traversal@sha256:b4262334a9e32338The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.3855413, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
