Security audit

Baidu Wenku AIPPT

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a straightforward Baidu AI PPT generator that sends the user's presentation content to Baidu as part of its stated function.

Install only if you are comfortable sending presentation prompts and any supplied web content to Baidu for processing. Avoid using it with confidential, regulated, or proprietary material unless Baidu's terms and your organization's policy allow it, and keep the BAIDU_API_KEY scoped and protected.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill invokes Python scripts, requires an API key in the environment, and is designed to make outbound API requests, but the manifest does not explicitly declare corresponding permissions. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: an agent or platform may allow execution without clearly informing users that the skill can access secrets, run shell commands, and contact external services.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The script sends user-supplied query text and optional web_content directly to Baidu's external AI PPT service without any consent prompt, redaction, or clear warning to the user at the point of transmission. In a skill context, users may provide sensitive business, personal, or proprietary content expecting local processing, so silent exfiltration to a third party creates a real confidentiality and privacy risk.
