Security audit

Douyin To Obsidian

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill does what it claims, but it ships a real-looking Groq API key and sends Douyin audio to Groq with weak privacy disclosure.

Review before installing. Replace and revoke the bundled Groq key, use your own credential through a safer secret mechanism if possible, and only process Douyin content you are comfortable sending to Groq and saving into your Obsidian vault.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill reads a locally stored Groq API key and uploads extracted audio to Groq's transcription API, but the user-facing description does not clearly disclose this third-party data transfer. This creates a privacy and consent issue because potentially sensitive audio/content is transmitted off-device to an external service.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill description does not clearly warn that it will send audio to an external transcription provider and write resulting content into a local Obsidian vault. Missing disclosure reduces informed consent and increases the risk of users unintentionally sharing sensitive content or persisting it locally.
