Security audit

News To Markdown

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed article-to-Markdown converter that fetches user-provided URLs and can save Markdown or images locally.

Install only if you trust the news-to-markdown npm package. Prefer the fixed npm install plus launcher path, avoid the npx fallback for routine use, and run Playwright or broad article scraping in a sandbox if you need dynamic-page support.

Finding
The skill declares no permissions, yet its documented behavior clearly invokes shell commands such as `node`, `npm`, `npx`, `bws`, shell loops, and Playwright installation. This creates a mismatch between declared trust boundaries and actual execution capability, which can cause an agent or operator to grant the skill more execution power than expected and increases the risk of command execution, package installation, and network activity without explicit policy review.
