MIJ Kakao Local API (PowerShell)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Kakao local search helper, but users should treat searched addresses, coordinates, cache files, and the Kakao API key as sensitive.

Install only if you are comfortable sending address, place-search, and optional coordinate queries to Kakao. Prefer the environment variable setup for the API key, do not commit data/config.json, and treat any places.json or cache.json files as private location/search history that should be deleted or protected when no longer needed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly instructs users to send addresses, place-search keywords, and optional coordinates to an external Kakao API, but it does not prominently disclose the privacy implications of transmitting potentially sensitive location data off-host. This can lead to unintentional disclosure of personal or sensitive location information by higher-level agents or users who assume the skill is purely local.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The example workflows persist favorites, timestamps, addresses, coordinates, and search results to local JSON files without clearly warning that potentially sensitive location/search history will be stored on disk. This creates a local privacy risk because later users, processes, backups, or source-control mistakes could expose behavioral and location data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user-supplied address queries, keywords, and optional precise coordinates to a third-party Kakao API, but the markdown description does not clearly warn users that this data leaves the local environment. This creates a real privacy and consent issue, especially because location data and searched places can be sensitive and may be logged or retained by the external service.
