Cud Advisor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent GCP cost-analysis skill that avoids credentials and direct account access, but users should review any generated CUD purchase commands and shared billing data carefully.

Install/use this skill if you are comfortable sharing exported GCP billing and compute usage data for cost analysis. Do not paste credentials or secrets, and do not run any generated CUD creation commands until a qualified billing or cloud administrator reviews the financial commitment.

ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Low
What this means

A user may share cloud billing and infrastructure details that are sensitive even though no credentials are requested.

Why it was flagged

The skill asks the user to obtain exported GCP billing and compute data using read-only IAM roles. This is expected for CUD analysis, but those roles can reveal sensitive account cost and workload information.

Skill content
"roles": ["roles/billing.viewer", "roles/compute.viewer", "roles/bigquery.jobUser"]
Recommendation

Use the least-privileged read-only access available, export only the data needed for the analysis, and avoid pasting secrets, tokens, or unrelated billing details.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Medium
What this means

If a user copies and runs generated commands without review, they could make paid cloud commitments that may be hard to reverse.

Why it was flagged

The skill may generate commands that create GCP Committed Use Discounts. That is purpose-aligned and the artifact says it does not execute GCP commands directly, but running those commands can create financial commitments.

Recommendation

Treat generated CUD creation commands as drafts only; have a cloud billing owner review term, region, workload fit, and spend impact before execution.
