Security audit

Google Maps

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill uses documented Google APIs for map tasks, but search and details results can include the user's Google API key in returned photo URLs.

Review before installing. Use a restricted Google Maps API key with quotas and referrer/API restrictions, assume map queries are sent to Google, and avoid sharing transcripts or logs from place search/details results until the skill stops printing API keys in photo URLs.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation does not clearly warn users that submitted addresses, coordinates, and place searches are transmitted to Google APIs. This creates a privacy and data-handling risk because users may provide sensitive location data without realizing it is sent to a third party, which is especially relevant for home, workplace, or itinerary queries.
