Npjames Apple Notes

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a clear Apple Notes helper that discloses its sensitive Notes access, but users should verify the third-party memo CLI before granting macOS Automation permission.

Before installing, verify that you trust the memo CLI source and publisher, because this skill asks you to grant access to Apple Notes and supports viewing, exporting, editing, moving, and deleting notes. Grant macOS Automation access only if you are comfortable with that installed CLI operating on your Notes data, and revoke the permission later if you no longer need it.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
