Remote Disk Mount

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill does what it claims, but its SMB instructions can expose or leave behind passwords while using privileged system commands.

Review this skill before installing. Use it only if you are comfortable approving sudo commands, install only the package needed for your chosen protocol, avoid giving the agent reusable passwords, prefer SSH keys or interactive prompts, and remove any SMB credential file immediately after it is no longer needed.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill claims it avoids plaintext passwords on the command line, but the SMB example injects the password into a shell command via `echo "password=$PASSWORD" | sudo tee ...`. This can expose secrets through shell history, agent logs, process context, or accidental command rendering, and it normalizes unsafe secret handling despite the stated guidance.
