Security audit

Robot Vacuum Buying Consultant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a narrow robot-vacuum buying advice skill with no executable code, credential access, persistence, or hidden system-changing behavior.

Safe to install from a security perspective. Treat its product suggestions as starting points and verify current model specs, availability, and pricing before buying, since product lines change.

A.I.G

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

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- Planning to use a random-navigation robot in a large (>80 m²) or multi-room home — it will miss areas and overlap excessively
- Not measuring the lowest furniture gap before ordering — if the robot doesn't fit, those areas won't be cleaned
- Expecting mopping capability to replace manual mopping — clarify the actual mopping performance tier
- Having a 5 GHz-only router and buying a 2.4 GHz-only robot without checking
- Expecting a bristle brush roll to handle pet hair without frequent manual maintenance
- Overstating manufacturer coverage figures — real-world is typically 20–30% lower
