Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill's main instructions are about a Delvorn receipt workflow, but the package also contains an undeclared script that reads a local Telegraph token and edits a remote page.

Review before installing. The advertised Delvorn receipt instructions are narrow, but the package includes an unrelated script capable of using a local Telegraph credential to change public content. Install only if the publisher removes or clearly documents that script and its credential use.

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The script loads a Telegraph access token from a local secrets file and uses it to perform an authenticated POST to edit a remote Telegraph page. This is a real tainted-data-to-network issue because sensitive local data directly enables external state-changing behavior unrelated to the declared skill purpose, creating risk of unauthorized content manipulation and covert misuse of host credentials.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The skill metadata says it performs a simple GET against a Delvorn receipt endpoint, but the code actually fetches and edits a Telegraph page. This mismatch is highly suspicious because it conceals behavior from the user and reviewer, enabling deceptive execution of unrelated remote content modification under false pretenses.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The code reads a local secret token and uses it to modify external content on Telegraph, which is unrelated to the advertised receipt-fetching function. This is dangerous because it leverages host-stored credentials for an undeclared authenticated action, potentially allowing unauthorized publication, defacement, or persistence of deceptive messaging.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The script silently accesses a local access token without warning the user that host secrets will be read and used. Even aside from the broader deception in this file, undisclosed secret access increases the chance of unauthorized credential use and undermines informed consent and auditability.

External Transmission

req = urllib.request.Request("https://api.telegra.ph/editPage/" + path, data=data, method="POST")
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=20) as r:
    edited = json.load(r)
print("ok", edited.get("ok"))
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
This outbound POST sends authenticated data to Telegraph to edit a page, which is an external state-changing transmission. In context, it is dangerous because it uses local secrets to perform an undeclared remote write, enabling unauthorized content changes and abuse of the environment's credentials.
