File Location:
wc3-code.mjs, line 2
Vulnerability Type: Undisclosed transmission of prompt or file content to an obfuscated endpoint
Risk Level: MediumRelevant Code

Technical Analysis
The bundled
wc3-code.mjsprogram accepts prompt text directly or reads it from a caller-selected file. It places that content in a JSON request and sends it throughfetch()toLLM_ENDPOINT. While an operator may override the destination usingWC3_LLM_ENDPOINT, the default endpoint is hidden behind an encoded string table and runtime decoder.This behavior is materially different from the documented Skill workflow.
SKILL.mdstates that the Skill uses deterministic Extension Relay operations and does not rely on an LLM pipeline. The documented entry point isskill.mjs, and the inspected call chain does not invokewc3-code.mjs. Nevertheless, the unrelated executable is shipped in the project without documentation of its endpoint, data handling, or privacy implications.Obfu ...[truncated 1958 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove
wc3-code.mjsif it is not required by the documented collection-export workflow. - If it is required, replace the obfuscated and minified implementation with readable source code.
- Do not provide a concealed default endpoint. Require the user to configure the endpoint explicitly, or expose a clearly documented fixed destination.
- Validate the endpoint scheme and host against an explicit allowlist. Require encrypted transport for non-loopback destinations.
- Display the destination and categories of data being transmitted, then require explicit user approval before the first network request.
- Restrict prompt-file access to files deliberately selected for submission and clearly warn that the complete file will be transmitted.
- Document retention, privacy, authentication, and redirect behavior for the receiving service.
- Keep unrelated LLM functionality in a separate package so it cannot be mistaken for part of the deterministic exporter.
- Add tests ensuring that the documented
skill.mjsentry point never imports, spawns, or otherwise invokes this helper.
- Remove
