Pipeworx Pharma Analyst

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed pharmaceutical research MCP connector, with the main risk being that queries go through a third-party gateway.

Install only if you are comfortable sending pharmaceutical research queries to Pipeworx's third-party MCP gateway. Do not submit patient identifiers, confidential research, or proprietary business data, and verify medical or regulatory conclusions against official sources before relying on them.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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
