Vincent - Credentials

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to perform credential management as advertised, but it gives an agent high-impact authority over secrets through a third-party CLI/service and local .env writes.

Install only if you trust Vincent/heyvincent.ai with the credentials you plan to manage. Use explicit user-confirmed commands, pin or review the CLI version where possible, verify the exact .env path before writing, keep .env files out of git, and rotate any secret that may have been written to the wrong place.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are very broad for a high-risk skill that can create secrets, persist API keys, and write credential material into `.env` files. Terms like `API key`, `credential`, and `password` can appear in ordinary discussion, causing the skill to activate in contexts where the user did not explicitly intend secret-management actions, which increases the chance of unnecessary credential handling and external calls.
