Pipeworx trivia

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This trivia skill is coherent, but its MCP setup runs an unpinned npm package automatically, which deserves review before installation.

Install only if you are comfortable running a remote MCP bridge via npm. Prefer pinning `mcp-remote` to a reviewed exact version, running it in a restricted environment, and keeping credentials or sensitive environment variables out of that process.

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
