cpbox-web-search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed paid web-search skill, but it needs review because broad search use can trigger external requests and automatic x402 payment signing without clear spend controls.

Review before installing if your agent has x402 payment set up. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet, require confirmation or a fixed budget for paid searches, verify the external payment helper package, and avoid sending precise location headers unless the user explicitly needs location-aware results.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The manifest description 'USE FOR web search' is broad and imperative, which can cause an orchestrator or agent to invoke this skill in situations where a more constrained or privacy-preserving tool would be better. In this skill's context, unintended invocation is more concerning because use of the endpoint may trigger paid requests and transmit user queries to an external provider, increasing cost and data exposure risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The documentation encourages sending precise geolocation headers, including latitude and longitude, but does not present a clear privacy warning, consent requirement, retention statement, or data-minimization guidance. In a web-search skill, this is especially sensitive because precise location combined with search queries can reveal highly personal information and is being transmitted to third-party services.
