Straker Verify - AI Translation & Human Review

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Straker translation API helper, with expected external uploads and API-key use disclosed in the artifact.

Install only if you intend to send translation content and selected files to Straker's external service using your Straker API key. Do not submit secrets, regulated data, or confidential business material until you have reviewed Straker's data handling terms and are comfortable with possible human review for verification workflows.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The README advertises translation and security/privacy benefits, but it does not clearly warn users that submitted text will be transmitted to an external third-party service. This can cause users to paste sensitive, proprietary, or regulated data into the skill without informed consent, creating confidentiality and compliance risk.
