Trae Plugin Market Flagged for Backdoor Risks
sujingshen · x · 2026-07-19
This post highlights security risks associated with Trae / skills:
- The cited thread mentions that Trae's plugin market actually contains a "nest" of backdoored plugins, which are still being actively updated.
- The reshare adds that skills currently have almost zero defense mechanisms, so it's best to have AI "analyze" the risks before installing or using them.
Overall, it serves as a warning that security audits and supply chain risks within the plugin/skills ecosystem of AI coding tools cannot be ignored.
