Security audit

cold-email

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward cold-email skill that clearly uses a SkillBoss API key and sends lead details to SkillBoss, so users should treat the submitted lead data as shared with a third party.

Install this only if you trust SkillBoss to process prospect data and you have a lawful basis to use and share the lead information for outreach. Avoid submitting sensitive or regulated data unless approved by your organization, and keep SKILLBOSS_API_KEY in a secure secret store.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly sends lead personal data, including email addresses and potentially LinkedIn and company website information, to a third-party API but does not provide a clear privacy notice, consent requirement, or data handling warning. This creates a real data-sharing risk because operators may unknowingly transmit personal or regulated business contact data off-platform to an external processor.

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The code performs an authenticated POST to an external API and includes lead data in the JSON body, causing data to leave the local trust boundary. External transmission is expected for this skill's function, but it is still security-relevant because it sends personal/business contact data to a third party and relies on that service's security and privacy posture.

## How It Works

This skill calls the SkillBoss API Hub (`POST https://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot`) with `type: "chat"` to generate personalized cold email sequences for each lead. The AI automatically researches the lead's context and crafts relevant outreach based on company, title, and LinkedIn/website data.

## Endpoints
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The documentation states that the skill calls a third-party endpoint to research prospects and generate content using lead context, which confirms external transmission of potentially sensitive lead information. In this sales-enablement context, that behavior is core to the feature, but it remains a real privacy and compliance risk if users are not warned or if prohibited data is submitted.
