Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill does what it says: it rewrites assistant replies to remove en dashes and em dashes, with no evidence of hidden exfiltration, destructive behavior, or persistence.

Install this only if you want assistant replies automatically rewritten to remove en dashes and em dashes. Avoid using it in contexts where even assistant output text should not be resent through an embedded model run, and prefer an updated release once the publisher refreshes the dev dependency lockfile.

  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Findings (13)

Known Vulnerable Dependency: vitest==1.6.1 — 1 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-47429 (When Vitest UI server is listening, arbitrary file can be read and executed)

Critical
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

Vitest 1.6.1 is flagged for arbitrary file read and execution when the Vitest UI server is listening. Although this is a dev dependency rather than application runtime code, a vulnerable test UI exposed on a developer machine or CI environment could enable serious compromise of local files or code execution.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: vitest==1.6.1 — 1 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-47429 (When Vitest UI server is listening, arbitrary file can be read and executed)

Critical
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The package resolves to a Vitest version with a critical advisory allowing arbitrary file read and execution when the Vitest UI server is listening. Even though Vitest is a dev dependency, this can be dangerous in developer workstations or CI environments if the UI server is used, potentially exposing secrets or enabling code execution.

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The description claims the skill rewrites text via an embedded LLM to remove banned dash characters before delivery. However, this code chunk only contains unit tests for detecting em-dashes/en-dashes and stripping code blocks before detection. That is related to dash banning, but it does not implement the declared rewrite behavior or any LLM-based transformation. Therefore the actual behavior represented by this chunk materially differs from the declared purpose.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: nanoid==3.3.11 — 3 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-67214 (nanoid: non-secure generators can loop indefinitely with negative size); CVE-2026-67213 (nanoid: custom generators can loop indefinitely when size is zero); CVE-2026-73086 (nanoid: Integer Overflow or Wraparound)

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The lockfile includes nanoid 3.3.11, which is flagged for multiple denial-of-service and integer handling issues. Even though it is transitive through PostCSS/Vite and likely used in build tooling, vulnerable utility libraries in the toolchain can still be triggered during development, CI, or processing of attacker-influenced inputs.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: postcss==8.5.10 — 3 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-45623 (PostCSS: Arbitrary file read and information disclosure via attacker-controlled ); CVE-2026-69153 (PostCSS: incomplete fix of GHSA-6g55-p6wh-862q — attacker-controlled sourceMappi); CVE-2026-73646 (PostCSS: Path Traversal in Previous Source Map Auto-Loading (sourceMappingURL) l)

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

PostCSS 8.5.10 is present and is associated with arbitrary file read and path traversal class issues involving source map handling. Because PostCSS processes content and metadata during builds, this becomes more dangerous if the skill or its build pipeline ever handles untrusted CSS or attacker-controlled source map references in CI or development environments.

Known Vulnerable Dependency: vite==5.4.21 — 3 advisory(ies): CVE-2026-39365 (Vite Vulnerable to Path Traversal in Optimized Deps `.map` Handling); CVE-2026-53571 (vite: `server.fs.deny` bypass on Windows alternate paths); CVE-2026-53632 (launch-editor: NTLMv2 hash disclosure via UNC path handling on Windows)

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

Vite 5.4.21 is flagged for path traversal and Windows-specific filesystem or UNC-path issues. In this repository it is a development dependency, so exploitation is mostly limited to developers, CI runners, or systems where the Vite server or related tooling is exposed, but that still presents meaningful risk in shared or enterprise environments.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The plugin sends the full outbound reply text to an embedded LLM for rewriting without any explicit user notice or consent in this file. Even though the feature is intentional and tools are disabled, this still creates a data-handling/privacy risk because potentially sensitive model output is retransmitted to another model execution path and may be persisted in temporary session artifacts or provider logs.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The manifest description says the skill will "Ban LLM em-dashes and en-dashes before delivery," which enforces a specific language/style constraint by default. This is a natural-language policy concern because it applies a mandatory output convention without indicating user choice or opt-in.

Content

Known Vulnerable Dependency: esbuild==0.21.5 — 1 advisory(ies): GHSA-67mh-4wv8-2f99 (esbuild enables any website to send any requests to the development server and r)

Low
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The lockfile pins esbuild 0.21.5, which is associated with a dev-server request exposure advisory. In this skill context, esbuild appears only as a transitive development dependency via Vite/Vitest, so the issue is real but primarily relevant during local development or testing rather than at runtime for end users.
