Security audit

transcribe

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward speech-to-text helper that sends user-selected audio to SkillBoss as its stated purpose.

Install this only if you intend to use SkillBoss for remote transcription. Do not send private calls, meetings, customer recordings, or regulated data unless you have authorization and are comfortable with SkillBoss handling that audio under its terms.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs users to send audio content to a third-party remote API, but it does not clearly warn about privacy, consent, retention, or external data handling implications. Because audio may contain sensitive personal or confidential information, omission of that warning can lead to unintentional disclosure to an external service.

External Transmission

Content
API_BASE = "https://api.skillbossai.com/v1"

def pilot(body: dict) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        f"{API_BASE}/pilot",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json=body,
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The example performs an outbound HTTPS request to a third-party endpoint and submits base64-encoded audio in the request body. This creates a real external data transmission path for potentially sensitive voice data, so the risk depends on whether users understand and authorize that disclosure.
