Security audit

Fox Cellcog

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a real CellCog cloud-integration skill, but it deserves Review because it can upload chosen local files, spend API credits, run background cloud tasks, and write remote-generated files to user-specified local paths without tight scoping in the artifact.

Install only if you trust CellCog and are comfortable sending selected files to its cloud service. Use a dedicated API key if possible, approve credit-consuming tasks deliberately, avoid secrets or regulated data unless CellCog is approved for that data, and keep generated outputs in a controlled directory rather than arbitrary workflow or startup paths.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The skill repeatedly markets itself as a general-purpose sub-agent for 'quality work' and 'most tasks,' which is broad enough to trigger on many ordinary user requests. In an agent ecosystem, this can cause over-selection of a cloud-connected skill and increase the chance that sensitive data is routed to an external service without deliberate user intent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation explains that files inside <SHOW_FILE> are read by CellCog, but it does not present this as a clear up-front warning that those files are transmitted to a third-party cloud service. Because the skill encourages attaching arbitrary local files, users or upstream agents may disclose sensitive documents, recordings, or code without informed consent.
