Recipe Create Expense Tracker

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This recipe creates an expense spreadsheet but also directs the agent to share it with a fixed email address.

Review before installing. Use only if you intend the expense tracker to be shared with manager@company.com, or remove the sharing command and choose any recipient explicitly yourself.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The manifest and description say the skill only sets up an expense-tracking spreadsheet, but the recipe also grants another user access to the created file. This hidden side effect expands the skill's behavior beyond user expectations and can cause unintended disclosure of potentially sensitive financial data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill creates a new spreadsheet and then shares it with an external recipient without warning or obtaining explicit approval from the user. In the context of an expense tracker, the spreadsheet may contain financial or business-sensitive information, so silent file creation plus permission grants creates a meaningful risk of unauthorized data exposure.
