Security audit

Slickdeals

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed shopping/deal-search skill that uses web lookups for Slickdeals and possible retailer price checks, with no evidence of hidden persistence, credential access, or destructive behavior.

Reasonable to install for deal hunting. Expect your shopping search terms to be sent to Slickdeals and possibly retailer sites during price or availability checks; avoid entering sensitive personal information, and verify availability before purchasing because deals can expire quickly.

Finding
The manifest scopes the skill to searching Slickdeals, but the notes instruct the agent to supplement results with general web search and current retail pricing from Amazon, Best Buy, and other sites. This scope expansion is dangerous because it silently broadens data exposure, increases the number of external destinations contacted, and can cause the agent to act outside user and reviewer expectations.
