Map Generator With Markers

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a hosted map-generation skill that discloses its remote AgentPMT use and 7-day image storage, with manageable privacy and update-source cautions.

Before installing, treat coordinates, addresses, routes, and property locations as potentially sensitive because they are sent to AgentPMT and generated images are retained for 7 days. Prefer the OpenClaw install route or otherwise pin/review any npx-installed setup skills, and avoid using this skill for general map discussion unless you intend to call the AgentPMT hosted map product.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Pin the skills package used through npx to a reviewed, exact version rather than resolving the latest available release.
  2. Pin AgentPMT Skill sources to immutable repository commit hashes or signed release artifacts.
  3. Publish SHA-256 checksums or cryptographic signatures and verify them before installation.
  4. Replace automatic seven-day reinstallation guidance with a controlled update process that verifies provenance, reviews changes, and supports rollback.
  5. Use package-manager lockfiles and integrity metadata where the installation mechanism supports them.
  6. Review the downloaded setup Skills before activation, particularly instructions concerning authentication, credentials, MCP configuration, and REST access.
  7. Run installation with the minimum required OS privileges in a restricted environment without unnecessary credentials or sensitive environment variables.
  8. Maintain an approved-version manifest so users can identify the exact package and Skill revisions that were security-reviewed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill prominently describes map-generation capabilities but does not foreground, at the point of use, that submitted location data is sent to a third-party remote service and resulting map images are stored in cloud storage for 7 days. This creates a meaningful privacy and data-handling risk because users or agents may pass sensitive coordinates, addresses, or operational location data without adequate notice or consent context.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The activation keywords include generic phrases such as create map, points, and map type, which are broad enough to collide with ordinary user requests. In an agent environment, this can cause unintended skill activation and silent transmission of sensitive location data to a remote service, especially because generated outputs are stored externally for 7 days.

Finding

The manifest description says to use the skill when an agent "needs map generator with markers" and also lists broad capabilities like "create map" and "visualizing geographic data distributions" without clear boundaries. This lacks specificity on whether activation is limited to AgentPMT-hosted remote calls for this exact product or applies to any mapping-related user request.
