Security audit

Bing Webmaster CLI

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward guide for installing and using a Bing Webmaster CLI, with expected API-key handling and no evidence of hidden or harmful behavior.

Before installing, verify that `bing-webmaster-cli` is the package you intend to trust. Treat the Bing Webmaster API key as a secret, avoid passing it inline on shared systems where shell history or process listings may expose it, prefer environment variables or the interactive prompt when practical, avoid storing credentials on shared machines, run `bwm auth clear` when done, and review any URL batch file before submitting it.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to place a Bing Webmaster API key in an environment variable or pass it directly on the command line, but it does not warn that this credential is sensitive or note safer handling practices. Command-line arguments can be exposed via shell history and process listings, and local storage guidance without permission or file-mode cautions can lead to inadvertent credential disclosure.
