Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent, but it gives unsafe credential-printing guidance and points users to an unpinned remote installer while also enabling external telemetry by default.

Review carefully before installing. Prefer PyPI or source installation with pinned versions and hashes instead of running the curl-to-shell installer. Do not run or paste commands that print full provider environment variables; use redacted presence checks. Require explicit approval before using bind, auto, or watcher commands, and consider turning telemetry off before first use.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The troubleshooting step instructs users to print provider environment variables with `env | grep ...`, which can expose API keys directly in terminal output, logs, chat transcripts, or agent memory. In this skill's context, those variables are provider credentials used for outbound AI services, so disclosure can lead to unauthorized usage, billing abuse, and account compromise.

## Telemetry

On by default. Hourly POST to `https://telemetry.free-ride.xyz/v1/beacon`
with `{installation_id, version, os, tokens_served, request_count,
providers_active, uptime_hours}`. **Never sent**: prompts, completions,
model IDs, API keys, hostnames, IPs.
