Jackett

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Jackett torrent-search helper, with credential and torrent-result safety caveats but no hidden, destructive, or purpose-mismatched behavior.

Install this only if you trust your Jackett instance and configured indexers. Treat the Jackett API key as a secret, protect the config file with restrictive permissions, avoid committing it, and do not automatically open or fetch returned download links without checking the source and legality.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The response schema includes fields like link, details, and download_url for torrent indexer results, but the skill does not warn that these may lead directly to copyrighted or unsafe content sources. In an agent setting, this omission can cause downstream automation or users to follow or surface risky URLs without informed consent or filtering.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The script places the Jackett API key in the query string (`apikey=...`) when constructing the request URL, which can expose the credential through process listings, shell history, reverse proxies, access logs, browser/debug tooling, or upstream HTTP logging. In this specific Jackett/Torznab context this is partly driven by the API design, so the intent appears benign, but it still increases credential leakage risk if the environment or transport path is not tightly controlled.
