Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This paid astrology skill uses a documented birth-chart service, discloses its fee, and provides user control over payment.

Use this skill only if you are comfortable sending the supplied birth details to api.xinjianxue.com, including before deciding whether to pay. Retention practices are unspecified. Expect ¥6 per delivered chart, review payment details, and obtain the separate payment capability through Alipay’s official channel.

Findings (6)

The workflow sends personal birth information to an external service without a privacy warning.

Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The workflow collects precise birth date and time, sex, and birthplace, then directs the agent to send those details to a service without requiring disclosure of the recipient or informed user approval. Together, these attributes can aid identification or profiling, making undisclosed third-party processing a privacy risk. External calculation is consistent with the skill’s purpose, reducing suspicion of malicious intent, but the referenced API documentation is not provided, so the recipient and its data-handling protections cannot be verified.

The request workflow sends personal birth details to an external API without a privacy disclosure.

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The workflow directs the agent to submit exact birth date, birth time, gender, and birthplace to an external service without first requiring a privacy disclosure or informed authorization for that transfer. These details are relevant to astrology, which makes the request functionally expected, but their combination can identify or profile a person; the initial submission occurs before the payment interaction provides an opportunity to decline.

Confidence

Finding

The manifest describes generating and interpreting birth charts, but L03 sets a price of 6 yuan per delivery, and L41–L53 direct a buyer-side Alipay payment and payment-proof retry. L59–L60 make payment a prerequisite for delivering an interpretation, introducing a financial transaction requirement beyond the stated calculation and interpretation scope.
