Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Podio skill is a disclosed Maton integration for user-approved Podio API work, with clear warnings around writes, credentials, and automation.

Before installing, understand that this skill can help an agent make real changes in Podio and set up persistent Maton automations if you approve them. Use a least-privilege Podio connection, confirm every write/delete and every trigger or destination, and avoid raw API keys unless the CLI is unavailable.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • 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 Podio manifest says the files under references/<source>/triggers.md are shared platform event catalogues and explicitly that they add no Podio capability. However, this file instructs the reader to use HubSpot-trigger events when the user has connected that source and asks for them by name, which broadens the apparent operational scope beyond Podio and conflicts with the manifest's framing of the skill as a Podio integration.
