Security audit

Talkspresso

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a legitimate Talkspresso account manager, but it gives an agent broad account-changing API instructions without enough confirmation or scoping for destructive and outward-facing actions.

Only install this if you are comfortable giving the agent access to manage your Talkspresso business account. Review any delete, cancel, approve, send-message, send-email, file-upload, pricing, profile, or availability change before it runs, and prefer a limited-scope API key if Talkspresso supports one.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The activation text says to use the skill for 'anything related to their Talkspresso account,' which is broad enough to match many routine requests and trigger high-impact API actions without clear user intent. In an agent setting, overbroad routing increases the chance of unintended reads, writes, or destructive actions against business data.
