Security audit

Baidu AI Map(百度地图官方AI SKills)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Baidu Maps integration that sends map and routing requests to Baidu and uses a user-provided token, with one usability caution around optional browser opening.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending map queries, addresses, coordinates, and your Baidu Maps authorization token to Baidu's map APIs. Be aware that map visualization may open a browser window by default when you ask to see results on a map.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The natural-language instructions and examples are presented exclusively in Chinese, which effectively forces a specific language for use of the skill. The file does not offer an alternative language, user opt-in, or a documented justification that this is a China-specific or Chinese-only skill.

Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The MapRender section explicitly instructs the agent to automatically launch an external browser via open, xdg-open, or start. This creates a side-effecting action outside the chat/runtime boundary and can surprise users or be abused to trigger unwanted application launches or external navigation without an explicit confirmation step at execution time.
