Password

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This password utility is purpose-aligned and not malicious, but users should treat live passwords carefully because some features take passwords as command-line input and one optional breach check contacts Have I Been Pwned with a SHA-1 prefix.

Install only if you are comfortable with a shell-based password helper. Prefer generated passwords over testing live reusable passwords, avoid putting production secrets into command-line arguments, and use the breach-check feature only if you accept sending a password-derived SHA-1 prefix to Have I Been Pwned.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises shell-backed commands in SKILL.md but declares no permissions, which creates a transparency and governance gap around what the skill can execute. For a password-related skill, hidden or undeclared execution capability is more sensitive because users may provide secrets, and shell tooling can process, log, or exfiltrate them if later implemented unsafely.

Tp4

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The documented purpose and the detected behavior do not align: the skill claims storage, rotation, and breach checking, but the visible command list omits some of those while analysis indicates additional capabilities including network access. In a password tool, behavior drift and undeclared network use are especially dangerous because users may assume local-only handling of highly sensitive secrets when the skill may send data externally or fail to provide expected safeguards.

Vague Triggers

Low
Confidence
76% confidence
Finding
The invocation text is broad enough that the skill could trigger during ordinary password discussions, increasing the chance that users paste real passwords or secrets into the tool unintentionally. In this context, overbroad activation matters more because the skill concerns credentials, one of the most sensitive data types an agent can handle.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill handles password material but provides no user-facing warning about sensitive-input risks, such as logging, storage, clipboard exposure, or remote breach-check transmission. Missing safety messaging increases the likelihood that users will submit live credentials under unsafe assumptions, especially in an agent environment where backend handling may not be obvious.
