Security audit

DeepWiki

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does what it says: it sends user-requested public GitHub repository questions to DeepWiki and prints the response.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending the repository name and any question or wiki path you type to DeepWiki. Avoid entering private repository details or sensitive internal information unless you intend to share it with that service.

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

This code posts user-supplied repository and query/path data to the external DeepWiki service, which is a network transmission of potentially sensitive user or system data. While the file contains technical error messages, it does not include any confirmation prompt, user-facing disclosure, or explanatory comment/docstring warning that data will be sent off-host.
