Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a biomedical manuscript drafting and DOCX formatting skill with disclosed citation checking, not hidden account access or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable using external search services for citation checks. Treat generated papers as drafts: verify every PMID/DOI, approve any replaced citation, and review all biomedical claims before submission or publication.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to perform PubMed or web searches and make external editorial decisions based on network-fetched content, but this capability is not declared in the manifest. Undeclared network access expands the skill's trust boundary, can leak user-provided manuscript content or references to third parties, and makes behavior harder to audit or permission-gate.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The workflow directs automatic replacement of user-provided citations with newer external literature, creating an undeclared retrieval-and-modification path. In a biomedical writing context, silently substituting references can alter scientific meaning, introduce citation poisoning or unreviewed content, and compromise research integrity without the user's informed approval.
