Pilot Archive

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does what an archive tool says it does, but it can copy sensitive Pilot messages and file-transfer details into persistent plaintext local files without clear retention, permission, or filtering guidance.

Review before installing. Use this only where archiving all accessible Pilot communications is acceptable, and consider adding filters, restrictive file permissions, redaction, and a deletion/retention policy before running the indexing commands.

Finding
The skill persistently stores full message content and file-transfer metadata under ~/.pilot/archive without any warning, retention limits, or access-control guidance. Because Pilot communications may contain sensitive data, this creates a local confidentiality risk: secrets, private messages, filenames, and communication patterns can be exposed to other local users, backups, malware, or later unintended reuse.
