agentverus-scanner fails to analyze compiled Python bytecode files in companion code directories, allowing attackers to bypass security scanning by shipping malicious __pycache__ entries alongside benign source files. Attackers can execute arbitrary Python bytecode on import while the scanner reports a CERTIFIED verdict with high trust scores in both static and semantic analysis modes.

——5claude-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.5dCVE-2026-848096.5 MED24.0%
——7Tencent AI-Infra-Guard's skill-scan component excludes compiled Python bytecode files from analysis by hardcoding __pycache__ directories and .pyc/.pyo/.pyd extensions into skip lists across multiple scanning surfaces. Attackers can distribute skills with benign Python source files alongside malicious compiled bytecode that executes on import while the scanner reports a safe verdict, enabling code execution when operators install the skill.3dCVE-2026-202778.2 HIG12.3%
