CoreLocationCLI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward macOS location CLI wrapper that clearly says it prints the device’s physical location, but users should treat that output as sensitive.

Install only if you want an agent or terminal session to access your Mac’s precise location. Avoid running it in shared logs, transcripts, demos, or automation where coordinates or address data could be exposed unintentionally, especially with --json or --watch.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill explicitly retrieves and prints the device's physical location, which is sensitive personal data, but the description and usage guidance do not provide a clear privacy warning or explain the sensitivity of sharing stdout/logged output. In an agent or automation context, emitting precise location to standard output increases the risk of accidental disclosure through logs, transcripts, or downstream tooling.
