Security audit

qweather

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a narrow QWeather weather-lookup skill with disclosed API-key requirements and no evidence of hidden, destructive, or persistent behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable sending weather locations to QWeather. Use a dedicated QWeather API key, set QWEATHER_API_HOST to your official QWeather host, and avoid sharing raw error output because failed requests may expose the key in the URL.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is very broad, including generic terms like “weather,” “forecast,” and any '[city] 天气' pattern, which can cause accidental invocation in unrelated conversations. Unintended activation can lead to unnecessary external API calls and transmission of user-provided text to a third party without clear user intent.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The documentation states that the skill uses the QWeather API but does not provide a clear user-facing warning that city/weather queries will be sent to an external service. This weakens informed consent and privacy transparency, especially when user-entered locations may reveal sensitive travel or residency information.
