Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward TikTok trend-research guide that uses the disclosed Apify TikTok scraper and has no bundled executable code or hidden persistence.

Install only if you are comfortable using Apify for TikTok scraping, setting an APIFY_TOKEN, and sending chosen TikTok URLs or search keywords to Apify. Verify any local scripts/run_actor.js helper before running it, or use the disclosed MCP/API path instead, and avoid reusing output filenames if you need to preserve prior reports.

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

**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST   "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"keywords": ["#skincaretips", "#skincaretiktok"], "maxItems": 200}'
```

Filter: `playCount >= min_views`
Confidence

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

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
This markdown file applies to SQP-2, and it explicitly instructs users to run commands that save CSV and JSON outputs to local files. While the commands show the behavior, the documentation does not include an explicit warning or caution that running these examples will create or overwrite files on the local system.
