Security Audit

Low Risk
v1 • 4/14/2026

All 37 static analysis findings are false positives. The two HIGH-severity flags (weak crypto and high entropy) are caused by Chinese text in YAML frontmatter and bilingual content producing elevated byte entropy, respectively. All LOW network findings reference legitimate GET requests to a single known API endpoint (skills.myzaker.com) with no credentials or user input. All MEDIUM external_command findings are markdown documentation examples in fenced code blocks, not executable code. The skill is a straightforward news API client with no malicious patterns.

Network Requests to External API
The skill makes HTTP GET requests to skills.myzaker.com to fetch news data. All requests use hardcoded parameters with no user input, no authentication credentials, and no data exfiltration risk. This is expected and safe behavior for a news-fetching skill.

Best Practices

  • Use follow-up requests to drill deeper into a specific category after receiving initial results.
  • Combine with other ZAKER skills for a comprehensive news workflow including top headlines and category news.

  • Do not expect real-time breaking news. The API returns curated trending articles, not live feeds.
  • Do not rely on this skill for non-Chinese news sources. ZAKER primarily serves Chinese-language content.
  • Do not request categories outside the nine supported options. Custom or undefined categories will not return results.
