Nova Orbit

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is not clearly harmful, but it asks the agent to keep persistent memory, reuse prior task context, make network calls, and run a local script without enough user control.

Install only if you deliberately want a self-evolving assistant workflow with persistent cross-session memory. Before using it, inspect or disable the referenced self-assessment script, decide what may be written to nova-mind and ByteRover, avoid storing secrets or private task content, and require review before any skill or behavior updates are applied.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to write task logs, token usage, and memory artifacts into persistent local files across sessions without any user-facing notice, consent, retention limit, or scoping. This can silently retain sensitive task content on disk and expand the blast radius of later compromise or unintended reuse.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill documents outbound requests to GitHub and local HTTP services, including status descriptions and researched content flow, but does not clearly warn the user that network transmissions will occur or what data may be sent. Even when endpoints are localhost or GitHub API, this can disclose task metadata and repository interests without informed consent.

Ssd 3

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill directs the agent to persist and reuse prior-session memory from MEMORY.md, ByteRover, patterns, and daily logs without any limits on scope, sensitivity, or retention. Cross-session memory can capture confidential prompts or operational details and cause inappropriate reuse, disclosure, or long-lived accumulation of sensitive data.
