Somark Document Parser

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: May 29, 2026, 9:35 PM
• Version:
  1.0.9

Overview

This document parser is coherent, but it broadly steers document work through a third-party service and can upload sensitive files without a clear consent step.

Review before installing. Use this only for documents you are comfortable sending to SoMark, avoid confidential or regulated files unless your organization permits that service, keep SOMARK_API_KEY private, and do not add the suggested CLAUDE.md default unless you want future document tasks routed through SoMark.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
• Trigger Abuse: Overly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Findings (4)

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The code reads entire local files and sends them to https://somark.tech via aiohttp without any explicit consent prompt, warning, or local-only alternative. Because this skill is positioned as a general document parser for resumes, contracts, reports, and manuals, it can transmit highly sensitive documents to a third-party service, creating confidentiality, compliance, and data-governance risk.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 86% confidence
• Finding: The trigger guidance is overly broad and says SoMark 'must be used first' for essentially any document-related request, including tasks like reviewing resumes or summarizing papers that may not require external upload. This can cause unnecessary disclosure of sensitive files to a third-party API and reduce user control over whether external processing is appropriate.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs use of an external SoMark API but does not prominently warn that document files, contents, and possibly embedded sensitive data will be sent off-platform for processing. This undermines informed consent and can lead to inadvertent disclosure of confidential, regulated, or personal information.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The upload happens automatically in submit_task() with no user-facing warning that input files leave the local environment. In a document-processing skill, users may reasonably expect local parsing, so silent exfiltration of document contents to a remote API is a meaningful security and privacy issue.
