Maps

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only maps skill is coherent, but it can send location details to map providers and keep local recurring-place notes when the user approves.

This skill appears safe to install for map planning if you are comfortable approving live provider calls and maintaining local map notes. Before use, decide whether you want planning-only behavior or live API/link execution, restrict any API keys you provide, and keep ~/maps/ free of sensitive itineraries or location history.

ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Info
What this means

If you enable live paid provider calls, your API keys may be used and your provider quota or billing could be affected.

Why it was flagged

The skill may use map-provider credentials for live paid APIs, but this is disclosed, user-approved, and aligned with the mapping purpose.

Skill content
Live Google Maps, Mapbox, HERE, or other paid API calls need user-approved credentials.
Recommendation

Use restricted, least-privilege provider keys where possible and approve live paid calls only when needed.

#
ASI06: Memory and Context Poisoning
Low
What this means

Saved map preferences or recurring places could reveal sensitive routines or locations if the local ~/maps/ files are exposed or reused unexpectedly.

Why it was flagged

The skill can persist recurring location context locally, which may be sensitive, but it instructs the agent to ask before storing that information.

Skill content
If the user shares recurring home, office, or travel hubs, ask whether local notes are acceptable before storing them.
Recommendation

Review the ~/maps/ files periodically, store only minimal reusable context, and avoid saving sensitive routes or location history.

#
ASI07: Insecure Inter-Agent Communication
Low
What this means

Addresses, routes, or itinerary details may be shared with third-party map services when live lookups are approved.

Why it was flagged

The skill may transmit location or itinerary data to external map providers, but it explicitly requires confirmation for sensitive data.

Skill content
Confirm before sending sensitive origin, destination, or itinerary data to a live provider.
Recommendation

Confirm the provider and data being sent before live map requests, especially for home addresses, medical visits, client sites, or private travel plans.
