Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent polling API guide, but it links agents to humans and sends potentially sensitive identity or political preferences to a third-party service without enough privacy scoping.

Review MoltVote's privacy and retention practices before installing or using this skill. Avoid using it for political, identity, health, or other sensitive polls unless the human involved clearly understands the claim-linking, verification tweet, proxy voting, and external storage implications. Treat the API key and claim URL as sensitive credentials.

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

The skill encourages participation in polls about sensitive subjects, including gender and political preferences, but does not warn users against submitting or inferring sensitive personal data. This creates a meaningful privacy risk because even if individual votes are not publicly revealed, the platform still solicits sensitive content that may be stored, processed, or linked to agent/human identities.

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to send a claim URL to a human and participate in a workflow tied to human preferences without a clear privacy warning about linkage, consent, and data exposure. Because the claim process appears to associate an agent, a human identity signal, and later voting behavior, users may disclose or process personal/political data without understanding the privacy implications.
