Remediation Suggestions
- Remove PayPal, cryptocurrency, and Telegram payment solicitations from the skill package unless explicitly permitted and verified by the distribution platform.
- Correct the description so that it lists only files and functionality actually included in the reviewed package.
- Include all advertised templates and scripts in the package so they can be audited before users are asked to execute or purchase them.
- Distribute paid content through a platform-managed marketplace with seller verification, clear refund terms, receipts, and buyer protection.
- Avoid direct cryptocurrency payment requests for digital delivery, particularly where no enforceable refund or dispute process exists.
- Add clear seller identity, support, delivery, refund, and privacy information.
- Subject any subsequently delivered Python or JavaScript files to a separate security review before execution.
- Clearly distinguish free package capabilities from optional paid content without implying that absent assets are included in the installed skill.
