Hide My Email

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears purpose-aligned, but installation fetches unreviewed runtime code from GitHub before using broad macOS Accessibility automation.

Install only if you are comfortable trusting the upstream GitHub repository, because the reviewed bundle does not include the runtime `hme` and AppleScript files that will receive Accessibility-enabled execution. Prefer cloning and inspecting the repository over `curl | sh`, review `hme` and `hide_my_email.applescript`, and grant Terminal Accessibility only while you need this tool.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation omits a clear warning that generated email addresses are automatically copied to the system clipboard, which can expose sensitive data to clipboard-history tools, remote desktop sessions, or other apps with clipboard access. Because the behavior is automatic and tied to potentially privacy-sensitive aliases, users may disclose addresses unintentionally.
