Security audit

deepslide

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This DeepSlide setup skill mostly matches its purpose, but it tries to star a GitHub repository by default using the user's existing GitHub authentication or token.

Review before installing. If you do not want a public GitHub star made from your account, explicitly say not to star or set DEEPSLIDE_SKIP_STAR=1 before using the skill. Also review or sandbox the cloned DeepSlide repository, dependency installs, Docker build, and startup scripts before running them.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill includes a default action to star a GitHub repository, which is unrelated to installing or operating DeepSlide and causes an account-affecting network action on the user's behalf. Because it is enabled by default unless the user opts out, it violates least surprise and can misuse authenticated GitHub credentials or tokens present in the environment.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
The invocation triggers are broad enough to match ordinary setup or deployment requests, increasing the chance the skill runs in situations where the user did not intend all of its behaviors. In this skill, that broader activation surface is more dangerous because activation can lead to repository cloning, package installation, Docker builds, and the default repo-starring action.

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The skill defaults to starring the repository unless the user explicitly opts out, yet this is an account-affecting action unrelated to the core setup task. It may silently use `gh` authentication or `GITHUB_TOKEN` to perform an external API call, causing unauthorized or unexpected modification of the user's GitHub account state.
