Security audit

social-content

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This social-content skill is mostly aligned with its purpose, but it needs review because it combines publishing authority and large-scale scraping guidance without enough consent and scope controls.

Review before installing. Only provide a SKILLBOSS_API_KEY if you understand what accounts and scraper functions it can access. Use this skill for drafting and strategy unless you explicitly approve a post preview and destination account, and avoid scraping private, protected, or unauthorized content.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs collecting 500-1000+ third-party posts using a scraping API, which materially expands scope from content assistance into bulk data harvesting. This creates privacy, terms-of-service, and misuse risk, especially because it operationalizes collection at scale with a concrete API endpoint and auth-backed capability.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The trigger description is broad enough to capture many ordinary requests about social media, increasing the chance this skill is invoked when users did not intend account-affecting or data-collection behaviors. Overbroad routing is dangerous here because the skill also describes direct publishing access and scraping workflows, so accidental activation can expose higher-risk capabilities.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill states it has direct access to a scheduling platform that publishes to major social networks but does not warn about external side effects or require confirmation before account-affecting actions. In context, this can lead to unintended posting, scheduling, or modification of external accounts based on ambiguous user requests.
