Security audit

QuorumAI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent QuorumAI API integration, but its documented curl examples unsafely substitute user text into shell commands and could let crafted prompts run local commands.

Review before installing. Use this only for questions you are willing to send to QuorumAI and potentially expose through a public result link. The skill should be updated to build JSON with a safe serializer or structured HTTP client instead of direct shell substitution before it is used with arbitrary user text.

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The skill does not clearly warn users that their question will be sent to an external API and that the results include a public share_url. Users may provide sensitive, proprietary, medical, financial, or personal information under the assumption the interaction stays local, creating a substantial confidentiality and privacy risk.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

This skill is explicitly designed to exfiltrate user-provided questions to an external service via curl, which is expected behavior but still a security-relevant data flow. In context, the external transmission becomes more dangerous because the service aggregates content across multiple models and the documented workflow encourages always including a public share_url, increasing exposure beyond a normal API call.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The activation guidance is broad enough that ordinary phrases like 'use QuorumAI' or 'ask quorumai' can cause the agent to transmit arbitrary user content to a third-party service without a strong confirmation boundary. In this skill, that risk is amplified because the transmitted content may later be exposed through a public share URL, so accidental invocation can create unintended data disclosure.
