Security audit

Research Paper Compare

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only skill is coherently designed to compare research papers, with expected web and PDF retrieval but no code execution, credentials, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Install this if you are comfortable with the agent searching the web, opening paper links, downloading or extracting PDF text, and reading PDFs you provide. Prefer public academic sources and avoid private/internal URLs or confidential PDFs unless you intend them to be processed for comparison.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to search the web, follow landing pages, and download external PDFs without any visible user-facing warning or trust restrictions. In this context, that can lead users to unknowingly trigger requests to untrusted domains, retrieve malicious or deceptive files, or expose metadata/network activity during paper resolution, especially when URLs are user-provided or discovered via search.
