Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is narrowly for stock-theme analysis, but it sends the user’s API key and query to an unspecified plain-HTTP endpoint.

Review before installing. Only use this skill if you can verify the real EasyAlpha endpoint, preferably an HTTPS hostname, and are comfortable sending stock-analysis queries to that service. Use a revocable, scoped API key and avoid sensitive trading strategies or confidential business information.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The documentation tells users to set an API key in an environment variable but provides no guidance on secure handling, storage, rotation, or avoiding accidental disclosure in logs and examples. In a skill that likely makes external API calls for stock/news analysis, this omission increases the chance of credential leakage or misuse, especially by less experienced users.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The skill sends both the bearer API key and user-supplied query to an HTTP endpoint, which provides no transport encryption or server authentication. This exposes credentials and potentially sensitive user inputs to interception or tampering by attackers on the network path, and the hardcoded placeholder-style IP target further reduces trust and accountability.
