Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Google Search Console integration with careful approval and credential-handling guidance, though users should pay attention before enabling hosted automation or triggers.

Before installing, be comfortable using Maton's CLI and OAuth connection for Search Console. For normal Search Console queries, prefer read/list calls. Treat sitemap changes, hosted functions, triggers, destinations, raw API keys, and any external forwarding as higher-risk actions that should only happen after you confirm the exact account, scope, destination, and persistence.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The manifest says this skill is for Google Search Console data access and explicitly states Google Search Console is not an event source and that trigger reference files under references//triggers.md are shared platform catalogues rather than app capabilities. This file nonetheless provides operational guidance for Notion event monitoring, including page content and comment events, which is a separate third-party source and not justified by the Search Console skill's purpose.
