Security audit

Apple Reminders CLI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The visible code matches the advertised reminder manager, but missing runtime scripts prevent a complete security assessment.

Both scanners reported no findings, but SkillSpector coverage was partial. Independent review covered every supplied artifact file. The missing JXA scripts remain a material verification limit: a direct setup invocation returned a missing-script error. Verify the complete matching npm package before granting access. Reminder output can include private notes across all lists; select a specific list when appropriate and verify the reminder before irreversible deletion.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
