transcribe

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple speech-to-text skill that sends selected audio to SkillBoss for transcription, with no hidden install steps or persistence.

Install only if you are comfortable sending chosen audio files to SkillBoss API Hub. Avoid confidential, regulated, or consent-sensitive recordings unless your policy allows this vendor, and use a properly scoped API key.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly demonstrates base64-encoding a local audio file and sending it to a third-party API, but it does not warn that potentially sensitive voice content leaves the local environment. In an STT skill this behavior is expected, but the lack of disclosure and privacy guidance is still a real security/privacy issue because users may unknowingly transmit confidential audio.
