MiniMax CLI Web Search

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward MiniMax-backed web search wrapper with expected network use and no evidence of hidden persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you intend to use MiniMax MCP for web searches. Treat search queries as data sent to the configured MiniMax/MCP service, so avoid putting secrets, private documents, or sensitive personal information in queries. Verify your mcporter configuration and API key setup locally before relying on the wrapper.

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
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to read and rely on local files and scripts such as scripts/minimax_web_search.sh, config/mcporter.json, and references/environment-checklist.md, but it does not declare any explicit tool scope or allowed-tools boundary. That mismatch can cause over-broad file-read behavior at runtime, making it easier for a prompt or downstream task to induce unintended access to local files beyond what users expect.

Missing User Warnings

Category

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

This shell script sends the provided query to mcporter call minimax.web_search, which is a network-backed operation that may transmit user-supplied data externally. While the script's purpose is web search, there is no explicit user-facing warning, confirmation, or disclosure in the help text that queries are sent to an external service.
