SocialKit Bluesky Post

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill publishes user-approved Bluesky posts with disclosed credential use and no evidence of hidden or unrelated activity.

Review the final text and images before approving public publication. Use a dedicated app password, protect the credential file and cached session, and configure only a trusted Bluesky service. Review socialkit-social-core separately because its approval tooling is not included here.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Skill declares no tool scope ('permissions' or 'allowed-tools') but code capabilities were detected: env, network.

Finding

Without declared permissions the skill's intent is opaque and cannot be validated.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

The posting adapter also implements engagement monitoring and reply publishing outside the skill's stated scope.

Finding

L402-L432 implement fetching engagement metrics and reading replies, while L433-L459 implement publishing a reply using the user's session without invoking the publish-approval check. These are separate engagement-management capabilities, not requirements for publishing the approved post described in the manifest; although the current CLI runner does not invoke them, they are implemented on the registered adapter.
