Security audit

Email Excel Transfer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent email-to-Excel helper, but it handles private mailbox data and reusable email credentials with weak scoping and unsafe examples.

Review this carefully before installing. Use a dedicated low-privilege mailbox or OAuth token, do not store real app passwords in source files, require the user to choose the account/message/sender before reading mail, make sender checks exact, and save attachments in a private temporary directory with size and file-type limits.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill name/description triggers on a very broad user intent around moving email data into Excel, without requiring clearer constraints such as source account, sender scope, attachment type, or explicit confirmation before accessing mailbox contents. In an agent environment, overly generic invocation can cause the skill to activate during ordinary conversation and perform sensitive email/file operations the user did not specifically intend.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The example phrase "pobierz dane z maila i wstaw do Excela" is generic enough to overlap with normal conversational requests, increasing the chance of accidental skill invocation. Because this skill accesses email and writes spreadsheet data, unintended activation could expose private mail content or alter files even if performed on copies.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The manifest description forces a single language/locale presentation and does not indicate any user choice or opt-in for language. This can violate language policy expectations when skills should not impose a locale without justification.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The whole skill guidance is presented in Polish, including safety instructions and invocation examples, but there is no statement that the user selected Polish or that the skill is region-specific. That creates a natural-language locale constraint without documented opt-in.
