SkillLeakBench

A credential-leakage benchmark for LLM agent skills, from the ASE 2026 paper How Your Credentials Are Leaked by LLM Agent Skills: An Empirical Study.

Dataset summary

We collected 170,226 skills from SkillsMP and analyzed a 17,022-skill sample with static secret extraction, dynamic sandbox testing, and manual review. This release contains the 520 affected skills (437 vulnerable + 83 malicious) and their 1,708 security issues, across 10 leakage patterns (4 vulnerability + 6 malicious), plus disclosure and popularity tables. The release is de-identified (developer usernames removed) and contains no live credential values.

Classification Skills Issues
Vulnerable 437 1,371
Malicious 83 337
Total 520 1,708

Files & configs

skills_dataset.csv — affected skills (520 rows)

Per-skill records. Columns: source, skill_name, classification (vulnerable / malicious), patterns (semicolon-separated), issue_count, severity.

issues.csv — security issues (1,708 rows)

One row per issue. Columns: skill_id, skill_name, classification, pattern_id, academic_code, pattern, severity.

remediation_summary.csv — disclosure outcomes (3 rows)

Columns: classification, total, resolved, remaining.

popularity_hardcoded_repos.csv — repository popularity (37 rows)

Name-free popularity of hardcoded-credential repositories. Columns: repo_status, stars, forks.

Leakage patterns. Vulnerability (4): Information Exposure, Hardcoded Credentials, Insecure Storage, Artifact Leakage. Malicious (6): Remote Exploitation, Defense Evasion, Credential Compromise, Data Exfiltration, Resource Hijacking, Persistence.
