Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward web-search helper skill, with the main caveat that search queries are sent to external providers without an explicit privacy warning.

Before installing, treat any search query as information that may be sent to third-party search or AI-search providers. Avoid putting secrets, private documents, customer data, or confidential workspace details into queries unless that disclosure is acceptable.

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

The skill directs the agent to immediately send user-provided queries to external search providers, but it never requires disclosure that the query leaves the local environment. This can expose sensitive user inputs, internal context, or derived prompts to third-party services without informed consent, especially because the skill is framed as mandatory for broad classes of requests.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The instruction to 'ALWAYS run the search immediately' and 'don't ask permission' removes an important safety checkpoint before transmitting data to third-party providers. In context, this increases the chance of unintended disclosure of personal, proprietary, or security-sensitive information because the tool is mandatory and encourages automatic external requests.
