Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Alibaba Cloud translation helper that uses expected cloud credentials, Alibaba metadata calls, and local output files for its purpose.

Install this only if you intend to work with Alibaba Cloud TongyiTranslate/AnyTrans. Use least-privilege Alibaba credentials, expect calls to api.aliyun.com, and keep generated files under the documented output directory.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill requires access to environment variables, network, and local file writes, but it does not declare these permissions explicitly. This creates a transparency and governance gap: operators may run the skill without understanding it can access cloud credentials and write fetched data locally, increasing the chance of unintended credential exposure or misuse.

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises full AnyTrans resource management, status checks, and troubleshooting via OpenAPI/SDK, but the described executable path only performs metadata discovery and local artifact generation. This mismatch is dangerous because users may authorize cloud credentials and trust the skill for operational tasks it does not actually perform, while it still gains access to sensitive environment data and network/file capabilities under misleading pretenses.
