gsdata-search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do the advertised GS Data search, but it sends an API signature and search data over unencrypted HTTP, so users should review it carefully before use.

Install only if you trust the GS Data endpoint and are comfortable sending the API signature and search terms over plain HTTP. Prefer an HTTPS-supported version, use a scoped and revocable signature, avoid sensitive keywords, and rotate the signature if it may have been exposed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation explicitly instructs users to provide a `sign` API signature credential but gives no warning about treating it as a secret, avoiding logging, or preventing accidental disclosure in prompts, code snippets, or output. In an agent/skill context, users commonly paste credentials directly into examples or chat interactions, which increases the chance of credential leakage and unauthorized API access.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The code sends sensitive inputs including `project_id`, `sign`, and search query parameters to a remote endpoint over plain HTTP, which provides no transport encryption. This allows network attackers to intercept or modify credentials, queries, and responses in transit, making the issue materially more dangerous than a mere lack of disclosure.
