Security audit

Clinicaltrials Gov Parser

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward ClinicalTrials.gov query helper; it has expected network and Python dependency risks but no evidence of hidden, destructive, persistent, or credential-seeking behavior.

Install in a virtual environment, consider pinning or auditing dependencies first, and avoid entering confidential competitive-intelligence queries unless you are comfortable sending those query terms to ClinicalTrials.gov.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The trigger language is broad enough to match generic requests about tracking trials, updates, or competitor analysis, which can cause the skill to activate outside narrowly intended scenarios. Over-broad invocation increases the chance of unintended network access, file creation, or use in contexts where the user did not clearly consent to those actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The markdown states that the skill performs external API calls and read/write operations, but it does not clearly warn users about the privacy, audit, and workspace-modification implications of those behaviors. Without prominent behavioral warnings, users may unknowingly authorize network transmission of sensitive queries or file outputs they did not expect.
