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.
