Twitter Scraper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is an openly described public Twitter/X scraping workflow, with local output storage and proxy use disclosed, but users should handle retained profile data and platform rules carefully.

Before installing, confirm your intended use complies with Twitter/X terms and applicable privacy rules. Expect profile data and media thumbnails to be saved under data/output, data/queue, thumbnails, and export files; disable thumbnail downloads or delete outputs when retention is not needed. Treat any Google API key or proxy credentials as sensitive.

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

The skill explicitly stores scraped profile data, queue files, exports, and downloaded thumbnails/media on disk, but it does not warn users about the privacy, compliance, and data-retention implications of doing so. In the context of a social-media scraping tool that supports large-scale collection and export, this omission increases the risk of inadvertent accumulation of personal data and unsafe local handling of potentially sensitive content.
