Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently fetches public Google Trends RSS data and displays it without credentials, persistence, or local data access.

Before installing, note that the skill makes outbound requests to Google Trends and may display news headlines and links from the RSS feed. It does not require credentials or install packages, but users who want strict network governance may prefer an explicit allowed-domain declaration.

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

Finding

The skill performs network access to fetch external RSS data, but the manifest does not explicitly declare any tool scope or permissions. This creates a governance and transparency gap: an agent or review system may invoke a network-capable skill without clear policy constraints, making unexpected outbound requests harder to audit or restrict.

Finding

The invocation description lists phrases like "trending topics" and "top searches today" without narrowing them to Google-specific intent in all cases. This can make activation boundaries unclear and increase the chance of unintended invocation for generic discussions of trends or searches.
