ZeroGPU Router

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed ZeroGPU routing plugin that sends selected user inputs to a hosted third-party model service and uses persistent credentials only through an explicit sign-in skill.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending task inputs to ZeroGPU's hosted service and using its pay-as-you-go billing. Do not route secrets, credentials, private repositories, PHI, cardholder data, or other regulated data unless your organization has approved ZeroGPU for that data. Be especially aware that the PII redaction and extraction skills send raw text before any masking occurs, and that signing in stores an API key persistently on the machine.

Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

Call deepseek-v4-flash-0731. Run this with the exec tool, pasting the user's prompt into the heredoc verbatim — no escaping or quoting required (the quoted heredoc handles every shell metacharacter, newline, quote, and paren safely):

bash

External Model or Provider Selection

High
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

This skill explicitly routes user-provided content to an external hosted inference provider (ZeroGPU), which creates a real data exfiltration boundary outside the local agent environment. Even though the file includes a warning not to send secrets and the heredoc usage is shell-safe, the core behavior still sends potentially sensitive prompts and context to a third party, making this a genuine privacy and compliance risk if users or upstream agents pass confidential data.

External Model or Provider Selection

High
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

This skill explicitly sends the user's prompt to a third-party hosted API (ZeroGPU) for processing, which creates a real data-exfiltration and trust-boundary risk. Even though the file discloses this behavior and warns not to send secrets, the skill still enables external transmission of potentially sensitive user data and relies on an external model/provider outside the local execution environment.

Call the ZeroGPU chat model. Run this with the exec tool, pasting the user's prompt into the heredoc verbatim — no escaping or quoting required (the quoted heredoc handles every shell metacharacter, newline, quote, and paren safely):

bash
zerogpu chat_completions -m gpt-oss-120b <<'ZGPU_END_OF_INPUT'

ZGPU_END_OF_INPUT

External Model or Provider Selection

High
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This skill explicitly routes user-provided content to an external hosted inference provider, creating a real data exfiltration boundary. While the file does disclose that processing is remote and warns not to send secrets, the skill still enables transmission of entire repositories, long transcripts, and other potentially sensitive material to a third party, which is dangerous if users or upstream agents pass confidential data without proper review.

Scanner excerpt · skills/chat-glm/SKILL.md (reported line 21)May include surrounding context.

Call glm-5.2. Run this with the exec tool, pasting the user's prompt into the heredoc verbatim — no escaping or quoting required (the quoted heredoc handles every shell metacharacter, newline, quote, and paren safely):

bash
zerogpu chat_completions -m glm-5.2 <<'ZGPU_END_OF_INPUT'
<the user's prompt, verbatim>
ZGPU_END_OF_INPUT

External Model or Provider Selection

High
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly routes user-provided text to ZeroGPU's hosted API, creating a real third-party data exfiltration path. Although the file includes a privacy warning and the shell heredoc is quoted safely against command injection, the security issue is the external transmission itself: sensitive prompts, chat logs, or regulated data may be sent off-platform if a caller uses the skill without appropriate controls.

Run safety screening. Run this with the exec tool, pasting the text to screen into the heredoc verbatim — no escaping or quoting required (the quoted heredoc handles every shell metacharacter, newline, quote, and paren safely):
