Security audit

LinkedIn

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This LinkedIn skill is coherent and not malicious, but it needs Review because it asks users to handle a sensitive LinkedIn session cookie without enough safety boundaries.

Prefer the browser relay or manual browser login flow. Avoid using the li_at cookie method unless you understand that it can act like a login token; do not paste it into chats or logs, store it only in a proper secret store, and revoke sessions if it may have been exposed. Require explicit confirmation before any LinkedIn message, connection request, acceptance, or other account-changing action.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to extract and handle the `li_at` session cookie, which is effectively a bearer credential for the LinkedIn account. Anyone who obtains this cookie may be able to impersonate the user without needing their password or MFA, so presenting this workflow without a prominent security warning or safer handling guidance creates significant account takeover and privacy risk.
