Security audit

Parakeet Stt

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is for local speech-to-text, but its setup tells users to run unverified third-party code and exposes an unauthenticated local service broadly by default.

Review the upstream repository before installing, prefer a pinned reviewed commit or verified release, and run the service only on localhost unless you add authentication, TLS or network restrictions, and resource limits.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
