Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed media uploader for memories.ai, with privacy-sensitive behavior that matches its stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable sending chosen photos or videos, timestamps, and location coordinates to memories.ai. Use --probe first, verify the exact file and metadata before uploading, prefer --lat/--lon over --location for sensitive places if you do not want a geocoding lookup, and keep MEMORIES_AI_KEY private.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly uses sensitive capabilities: it reads an API key from the environment, invokes shell commands, probes local files, and uploads media plus metadata to an external network service. Declaring no explicit permissions weakens transparency and policy enforcement, making it easier for an agent or user to invoke a high-impact action without clear consent boundaries.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Low
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user-provided location text to a third-party geocoding service that is not described in the manifest. This creates an undisclosed data-sharing path and may expose sensitive place names or private addresses to an external provider.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The phrase "or similar" broadens activation criteria beyond specific, user-intended upload requests, which can cause the skill to trigger on ambiguous language. In this skill's context, accidental activation is more dangerous because it can lead to probing local files and uploading private media and location/time metadata to a third-party service.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill description does not prominently warn that it sends user media and potentially embedded metadata, including capture time and GPS location, to an external service. Because uploaded photos/videos often contain highly sensitive personal information, insufficient disclosure undermines informed consent and increases the risk of unintended privacy exposure.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The script uploads local media files along with extracted or user-supplied time and location metadata to an external service without any confirmation step or privacy warning in the code path. Because photos and videos may contain highly sensitive personal information, silent exfiltration to a remote API increases privacy and misuse risk.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The geocoding feature transmits user-entered location strings to OpenStreetMap Nominatim without explicit disclosure in the skill behavior. Even though this is functional, location text can be sensitive and should not be sent to third parties implicitly.
