Security audit

ScribeToAny

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill provides a clearly disclosed transcription workflow with user consent and credential protections; its optional package download is not version-pinned.

Use this skill when you are comfortable sending the selected recording to ScribeToAny and using your account allowance. Confirm before uploading confidential material. Prefer a verified, version-pinned CLI installation because the fallback downloads a package whose implementation is outside this artifact review.

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

Credential Access

Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Finding

The fallback npx -y scribetoany downloads and executes an unpinned npm package without an installation confirmation, allowing future package changes or a compromised release to run with the agent's permissions. Although this is a CLI rather than an MCP server, the supply-chain risk is real; execution on a machine with recordings and account credentials increases the potential impact.
