Rss Digest

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This RSS digest skill looks coherent and low-risk, but it installs a third-party feed tool and can add starter RSS subscriptions if no feeds are configured.

Before installing, make sure you trust the `feed` CLI source. Be aware that the skill will read your RSS entries and fetch article URLs, and that it may add a starter set of feeds if no subscriptions exist.

ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

Installing the skill requires trusting the external `feed` command that will read and manage the local RSS feed database.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on an external CLI installed from a custom tap or an unpinned Go package. This is disclosed and central to the skill, but users should trust the package source.

Skill content
brew | formula: odysseus0/tap/feed ... go | package: github.com/odysseus0/feed/cmd/feed@latest
Recommendation

Review the `feed` project or install it from a trusted, pinned source if possible.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Low
What this means

If your feed database is empty, the skill may add a starter set of RSS feeds before creating a digest.

Why it was flagged

The workflow tells the agent to import a remote starter feed list when no feeds are configured, which persistently changes the user's feed subscriptions.

Skill content
if 0 feeds, import starter set: `feed import https://github.com/odysseus0/feed/raw/main/hn-popular-blogs-2025.opml` and retry.
Recommendation

If you do not want starter feeds added automatically, tell the agent to ask before importing or to skip the import step.
