Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed financial-report parser that sends user-selected documents to SoMark, so the main risk is expected third-party handling of sensitive reports rather than hidden behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the reports you choose to SoMark or the configured base URL for parsing. Use a trusted endpoint, protect SOMARK_API_KEY, and treat generated markdown, JSON, and summary files as potentially confidential.

Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly uses environment variables, local file access, file writes, and outbound network access to send documents to an external API, yet it does not declare corresponding permissions. This undermines user and platform transparency, making potentially sensitive financial documents exfiltratable under a skill that appears less privileged than it really is.

Tp4

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill description frames the capability as local financial analysis, but the documented behavior includes uploading user-supplied files to a third-party service and only producing parsed intermediate outputs before later analysis. This mismatch can cause users to disclose confidential financial reports, research notes, or diligence materials without fully understanding that raw documents leave the local environment.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The skill uploads the supplied financial report bytes and the API key to an external SoMark service, which creates a real confidentiality and data-governance risk for sensitive financial documents. While this appears to be core product functionality rather than malicious exfiltration, users are not explicitly warned in-tool that document contents leave the local environment and are sent to a third-party endpoint that can also be overridden via --base-url.
