Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is an openly documented third-party AI API gateway, but its identity is inconsistent and it enables sensitive uploads plus email/SMS actions without clear privacy or consent guardrails.

Review this carefully before installing. Use it only if you trust SkillBoss/HeyBoss and are comfortable sending prompts, files, audio, document URLs, email content, recipient addresses, and phone numbers to that service and its downstream providers. Confirm recipients and avoid confidential, regulated, or personal data unless you have authorization.

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
96% confidence
Finding
These examples show uploading potentially sensitive audio, documents, images, and search/scraping inputs to a remote API without any privacy notice or guidance on handling confidential material. Users may unknowingly transmit personal, proprietary, or regulated data to third-party providers behind the gateway service.

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
This duplicate STT finding still represents uploading raw audio data to an external processor without warning or consent guidance. Spoken content may contain sensitive personal, health, financial, or business information, making silent transmission risky in an agent workflow.

Finding
Document processing sends a document URL to a remote parser/extractor, which can expose confidential files or internal documents to third-party services. The example lacks any warning about privacy, access control, or the sensitivity of documents being processed.
