Alvis Gemini Model

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small documentation-only skill for sending user prompts to a disclosed third-party LLM API, with no hidden local execution or persistence found.

Install only if you are comfortable sending prompts and inputs to SkillBoss-hosted infrastructure. Do not paste secrets, credentials, private customer data, regulated data, or internal documents unless your organization has approved that provider and its data-handling terms.

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

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The skill documentation instructs users to send arbitrary prompts to a third-party API but does not clearly warn that prompt contents may contain sensitive data and will be transmitted off-host. In an agent-skill context, this omission can cause users or downstream agents to unknowingly exfiltrate confidential text to an external service.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Data Exfiltration
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

This example performs a live HTTPS POST to a third-party endpoint and includes user-supplied prompt content in the request body. In a skill meant for text generation, that behavior is expected, but it still creates a real data-exfiltration path if users paste sensitive content without understanding where it is sent.

External Transmission

Data Exfiltration
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The curl example sends user content to the same external API endpoint using an authorization token, again establishing a direct off-system transmission channel. Because this is copy-pasteable documentation, users may transmit sensitive material without realizing they are sharing it with a third party.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"chat","inputs":{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Summarize this text..."}]},"prefer":"balanced"}'
