Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
The skill is mostly aligned with AnalyticLunch analytics use, but it asks the agent to run raw curl commands with an API key and includes a state-changing tracking-link action without enough guardrails.
Review this skill before installing if your AnalyticLunch API key has broad account access. Use it only for sites and reports you are authorized to access, and be cautious with tracking-link creation because it changes account data. Prefer an implementation that sends structured HTTP requests and JSON-serializes user input instead of interpolating values into shell commands.
SKILL.md:64Potential Shell Command Injection Through Unsafe Tracking-Link Parameters
The skill describes querying traffic data, tracking links, and reports but does not clearly warn that user requests will send analytics-related identifiers and queries to an external third-party service. This creates a transparency and privacy issue because users may not realize that their website intelligence requests are being transmitted off-platform.
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to use curl with an API key to transmit requests to analyticlunch.com, which is a genuine external data transmission path. While external API use is expected for this functionality, it still represents a security-relevant capability because it can send sensitive analytics, site identifiers, and link-management actions to a third-party endpoint if invoked too broadly or without adequate user understanding.
Example:
curl -s -H "x-api-key: $ANALYTICLUNCH_API_KEY" "https://analyticlunch.com/api/traffic/sites"
Example with POST:
The trigger phrases are broad enough to match common requests like 'how's traffic' or 'how's my website doing' without clearly constraining that the skill should only be used for the user's own AnalyticLunch account data. In an agent environment, this can cause over-invocation of the skill and unintended disclosure or retrieval of third-party analytics and competitive intelligence data from an external service.
