MiniMax Search & VLM

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed MiniMax API helper for web search and image analysis, with privacy risk when users send images or queries to MiniMax.

Install this only if you intend to use MiniMax for web search and image analysis. Use a dedicated API key if possible, keep the local key file private, and do not analyze private screenshots, documents, photos, or URLs unless you are comfortable sending their contents to MiniMax.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill includes an example that base64-encodes a local image file and sends it to a remote MiniMax API, but it does not clearly warn that local file contents leave the machine and are disclosed to a third party. This can cause unintended exfiltration of sensitive images, screenshots, or documents if users treat the example as routine local analysis.
