QQemail-agent

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This email-access skill appears purpose-aligned, but it asks for mailbox credentials and persists them locally without enough warning or containment.

Review this skill carefully before installing. Only use it if you are comfortable granting mailbox read/send access, and avoid providing real email credentials unless the publisher documents secure storage, consent before writing .env, how to revoke access, and pinned patched dependencies.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to solicit an email authorization code from the user and store it, but does not warn that this is a sensitive secret granting mailbox access. Because the code enables IMAP/SMTP access, mishandling it could expose inbox contents and allow unauthorized email sending.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The auto-configuration flow writes mailbox credentials to `.env` without informing the user that secrets will be persisted locally in plaintext and that a file will be modified. This increases the risk of credential leakage through backups, source control, local compromise, or accidental sharing.
