ScrapeBadger

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward ScrapeBadger API reference for web, Twitter/X, and Vinted scraping, with expected use of an API key and third-party scraping endpoints.

Install only if you intend to use ScrapeBadger as a third-party scraping processor. Keep the API key in an environment variable, do not paste it into chats or logs, and avoid sending internal, authenticated, personal, or confidential URLs unless you have approval to process that data through ScrapeBadger.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs callers to place a live API key into an HTTP header but provides no guidance to avoid logging, echoing, or exposing that credential in prompts, tool traces, or shared outputs. In an agent setting, missing credential-handling guidance materially increases the risk of secret leakage through request debugging, transcript retention, or accidental inclusion in downstream content.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The web scraping features send user-provided URLs, page content, screenshots, and extraction queries to a third-party scraping service without any warning about privacy, consent, or sensitive-data handling. In an agent workflow, this can cause internal URLs, authenticated pages, personal data, or proprietary content to be exfiltrated to an external processor, especially because the API supports full-page scraping, screenshots, and AI-based extraction.
