AppStore Rating Pulse

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only fetches public App Store rating data from Apple for user-configured apps, with an optional disclosed daily schedule.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable running a local shell script that makes HTTPS requests to Apple's public lookup API for the app IDs and countries you configure. Use the optional cron setup only if you want recurring reports, and keep it limited to this script.

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

Finding
Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to run a shell script and configure a cron job, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope or permissions boundary. This creates ambiguity about what execution capabilities the skill expects and can allow broader-than-necessary shell access in environments that enforce permissions from metadata, increasing the risk of unintended command execution or misuse if the skill is modified or invoked automatically.
