PageTranslate Document Translator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The verdict is benign with medium confidence: the scanners report a document translation skill whose disclosed use of a PageTranslate API and key fits its purpose, though one referenced local path could not be resolved.

Before installing, consider whether you trust PageTranslate to receive the documents you want translated and whether you are comfortable providing its API key. The scan covered the listed component but was marked partial because a local path-like reference could not be resolved, so the evidence is incomplete.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • 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
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
