Voice Transcribe

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill has a legitimate transcription purpose, but it tells the agent to run a user-specific local script that is not included in the reviewed artifact while processing potentially private audio.

Review this before installing. Only use it for audio you are allowed to send to OpenAI, avoid confidential or regulated recordings unless approved, and verify the referenced transcribe script yourself because it is not included in the reviewed skill package.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill directs users to send audio files to OpenAI for transcription but does not disclose that potentially sensitive voice content will be transmitted to a third-party service. In this context, voice memos may contain personal, confidential, or regulated information, so the lack of notice and consent can create privacy and compliance risk.
