Remove metadata from PDF

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says, but it sends selected PDFs to a named external service, so only use it with documents you are allowed to upload.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the selected PDFs and their contents to Cross-Service-Solutions for processing. Avoid confidential or regulated documents unless that provider's privacy, retention, and access controls meet your requirements, keep the API key private, and verify the upload URL before use.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly instructs users to upload PDF files to a third-party API but does not clearly disclose the privacy and data-handling implications of sending document contents and metadata off-system. This can mislead users into transmitting sensitive PDFs to an external service without informed consent, creating confidentiality and compliance risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill processes user PDFs by uploading them to an external third-party service, but the user-facing description does not clearly warn that documents leave the local environment. This can cause unintentional disclosure of sensitive document contents and metadata to an external processor, especially when users assume sanitization happens locally.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The script uploads local PDF files to a third-party remote API for processing, but the user-facing interface and behavior do not prominently warn that full document contents are transmitted off-host. Because PDFs often contain sensitive business, legal, financial, or personal data, this can cause unintended data exfiltration even if the feature is working as designed.

## How it works
1) Upload PDFs to:
   `POST https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions/api/40`
2) Poll:
   `GET  https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com/solutions/solutions/api/<job_id>`
3) Return `output.files[].path` as download URL(s)
