Security audit

zoomeye-org-search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This ZoomEye search skill does what it says, but it should be reviewed because it tells users to hand an API key to the agent and stores ZoomEye credentials locally.

Review before installing. Use this only if you are comfortable with the agent running ZoomEye searches and consuming your ZoomEye quota. Do not paste your ZoomEye API key into chat; initialize `zoomeye` yourself or use a platform secret mechanism, and rotate the key if it has already been shared.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs the user to send their ZoomEye API key to the agent and then use it for initialization. That creates unnecessary collection of a sensitive credential in plain text, increasing the risk of exposure through logs, prompt history, telemetry, or downstream tooling; in this context, the skill is more dangerous because credential handoff is built into the normal workflow rather than being an edge case.

Ssd 3

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
This is a true credential-handling vulnerability: the document normalizes direct submission of an API key to the agent, enabling the agent to receive, process, and potentially persist a secret it does not need to know. If exposed, an attacker could use the key to access the user's ZoomEye account or consume quota and perform searches under that identity; the offensive/security-research context makes this more sensitive because the credential unlocks a reconnaissance capability.
