Mcp Builder

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward MCP server scaffolder, with file and configuration generation that matches its stated purpose.

Before installing or using it in an existing repository, review the generated project files, dependencies, and any MCP client configuration before applying them, especially if the generated server will access internal APIs or 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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill explicitly scaffolds MCP servers, generates files, and provides editor/runtime configuration, but it does not warn that using the skill may create or modify project files and local MCP configuration. This can lead users to approve workspace changes without understanding the scope, increasing the risk of unintended code, config, or integration changes in sensitive repositories.
