Highest confirmed finding severity

High

3 confirmed security findings require attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

Open current Skill page

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Most external-command findings are false positives from Markdown fences, inline code, or JavaScript template literals. Confirmed risks include Dice.com network automation, persistent browser state, shared temp-directory logging, and Chromium launch flags that disable sandboxing. The skill also has contextual privacy risk because it can upload resume documents and submit job applications.

Capability review items (10)
Medium
SKILL.md:84
Hidden file access
CHROME_PROFILE=$HOME/.cache/dice-chrome
The skill stores or reuses a Chromium profile under $HOME/.cache/dice-chrome. A persistent profile can retain session cookies and account state on disk.
Medium
SKILL.md:102
Hidden file access
userDataDir: process.env.CHROME_PROFILE || `${process.env.HOME}/.cache/dice-chrome`,
The skill stores or reuses a Chromium profile under $HOME/.cache/dice-chrome. A persistent profile can retain session cookies and account state on disk.
Medium
SKILL.md:85
Temp directory access
STATE_DIR=/tmp/dice-easyapply-daily
The skill directs state and results to /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily. Job history in a shared temp directory can expose workflow data or collide with other users.
Medium
SKILL.md:158
Temp directory access
/tmp/dice-easyapply-daily/state.json
The skill directs state and results to /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily. Job history in a shared temp directory can expose workflow data or collide with other users.
Medium
SKILL.md:159
Temp directory access
/tmp/dice-easyapply-daily/results.jsonl
The skill directs state and results to /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily. Job history in a shared temp directory can expose workflow data or collide with other users.
Medium
SKILL.md:186
Temp directory access
State: /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily/state.json
The skill directs state and results to /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily. Job history in a shared temp directory can expose workflow data or collide with other users.
Medium
SKILL.md:187
Temp directory access
Log: /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily/results.jsonl
The skill directs state and results to /tmp/dice-easyapply-daily. Job history in a shared temp directory can expose workflow data or collide with other users.
Low
SKILL.md:51
Hardcoded URL
https://www.dice.com/jobs?filters.workplaceTypes=Remote&filters.easyApply=true&q=<QUERY>
The skill hardcodes Dice.com URLs for search and application workflows. This is expected for the skill, but it is real third-party network activity tied to job applications.
Low
SKILL.md:57
Hardcoded URL
https://www.dice.com/jobs?filters.easyApply=true&filters.employmentType=CONTRACTS&filters.employerTy
The skill hardcodes Dice.com URLs for search and application workflows. This is expected for the skill, but it is real third-party network activity tied to job applications.
Low
SKILL.md:134
Hardcoded URL
https://www.dice.com/job-applications/<job-id>/wizard
The skill hardcodes Dice.com URLs for search and application workflows. This is expected for the skill, but it is real third-party network activity tied to job applications.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (3)

RISK-001 High
SKILL.md:104
UID/GID manipulation
args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--disable-dev-shm-usage', '--start-maximized']
The Puppeteer launch arguments include --no-sandbox and --disable-setuid-sandbox. This disables important Chromium sandbox protections while browsing third-party pages.
RISK-002 Medium
SKILL.md:31-33SKILL.md:137-142
Automated Third-Party Job Submission
The skill instructs agents to use Dice Easy Apply flows, upload resume or cover-letter PDFs, and submit applications. This can transmit personal data and perform account actions on a third-party service.
The workflow explicitly covers Easy Apply use, verified resume upload, optional cover-letter upload, and submission. The risk is contextual rather than a simple code pattern.
RISK-003 Medium
SKILL.md:33SKILL.md:84-85SKILL.md:101-104
Persistent Authenticated Browser Profile
The skill recommends a persistent Chromium profile so login can be performed once and reused. This may retain cookies and authenticated session state on disk.
The file states that a persistent browser profile is used for manual login reuse and shows the profile path in configuration. Session persistence is the intended behavior.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    High
    Chromium sandbox disabled
    Remove --no-sandbox and --disable-setuid-sandbox. Document a supported sandboxed Chromium setup for local automation.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    Persistent browser profile stores session state
    Store the browser profile in a user-owned directory with cleanup instructions and permissions guidance.
  3. FIX-003
    Medium
    State and logs use a shared temp directory
    Use a user-scoped application data directory or require restrictive permissions before writing job history.
  4. FIX-004
    Medium
    Workflow submits personal application data
    Require explicit user confirmation before each application batch and before any resume or cover-letter upload.
