- Finding
- The skill explicitly instructs the agent to send user-provided URLs, JSON data, email addresses, and phone numbers to an external service for validation. Even though the skill mentions obtaining user consent and claims limited retention, this still creates a real data exfiltration path to a third-party endpoint, including possible PII or sensitive schema contents. The context makes this somewhat less suspicious than covert exfiltration because the service purpose matches the data handling, but it remains a genuine privacy and compliance risk.
