Last analyzed on February 13, 2026 (commit 13146e6a). SkillShield performs automated 4-layer security analysis on AI skills and MCP servers.
Layer Breakdown
Behavioral Risk Signals
Security Findings4
| Severity | Finding | Layer | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Potential data exfiltration: file read + network send Function 'create_job' reads files and sends data over the network. This may indicate data exfiltration. Review this function to ensure file contents are not being sent to external servers. | Static | skills/crossservicesolutions/password-protect-pdf/scripts/password-protect-pdf.py:60 | |
| HIGH | Suspicious API endpoint domain name The skill is configured to send user-provided PDF files, passwords, and API keys to `https://api.xss-cross-service-solutions.com`. The domain name `xss-cross-service-solutions.com` is highly suspicious due to the 'xss' prefix, which commonly refers to Cross-Site Scripting, a well-known web security vulnerability. This raises significant concerns about the legitimacy and security posture of the third-party service, potentially leading to data exfiltration or credential harvesting if the service is malicious or compromised. The skill's core functionality involves transmitting sensitive user data to this endpoint. Investigate the legitimacy and security practices of `xss-cross-service-solutions.com`. If it is a legitimate service, consider renaming the domain to avoid security connotations. If the service cannot be verified as trustworthy, replace the API endpoint with a trusted alternative. Users should be explicitly warned about the potential risks associated with sending sensitive data to this domain. | LLM | scripts/password-protect-pdf.py:26 | |
| MEDIUM | Suspicious import: requests Import of 'requests' detected. This module provides network or low-level system access. Verify this import is necessary. Network and system modules in skill code may indicate data exfiltration. | Static | skills/crossservicesolutions/password-protect-pdf/scripts/password-protect-pdf.py:27 | |
| MEDIUM | Unpinned Python dependency version Requirement 'requests>=2.32.0' is not pinned to an exact version. Pin Python dependencies with '==<exact version>'. | Dependencies | skills/crossservicesolutions/password-protect-pdf/requirements.txt:1 |
