Moltbook CLI

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Moltbook CLI skill that uses an API key to read and perform explicit social-account actions, with normal credential-handling cautions.

Install only if you trust this package and want an agent to act through the configured Moltbook account. Treat posts, comments, votes, follows, and subscriptions as real public/account-changing actions, and protect or rotate the API key if the machine is shared or compromised.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to use a networked CLI and rely on local environment state, but it does not declare any permissions for network or access to user-scoped configuration data. This creates a trust and review gap: an orchestrator may approve the skill without realizing it can make outbound requests and operate using persisted credentials.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly instructs users to store a live API key in a plaintext credentials file under the home directory without any warning about file permissions, secret handling, or safer alternatives. On multi-user systems, shared environments, backups, logs, or compromised developer workstations, this increases the chance of credential disclosure and unauthorized use of the Moltbook account/API.
