Security audit

AI intervew agent named Xiaoba

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward ibaguo interview API guide, but users should treat candidate and interview data as sensitive before sending it to the external service.

Install only if you intend to use ibaguo's external interview API. Do not expose XIAOBA_API_KEY in chat or logs, obtain candidate consent where required, send only necessary candidate/resume fields, and review the provider's retention and privacy terms before using real applicant data.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill processes and transmits candidate personal data, resumes, interview transcripts, and evaluation results to a third-party API, but it does not clearly warn users about this external data sharing in the user-facing description or workflow guidance. This creates a privacy and consent risk because users may submit sensitive HR data without understanding that it leaves the local environment and is handled by an external service.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

This call creates candidates and may include highly sensitive personal data such as name, phone, email, plan linkage, and potentially resume_data, all of which are transmitted to an external API. In the context of an HR/interview skill, this is more dangerous than generic external transmission because it involves regulated PII and employment-related data, yet the documentation does not prominently warn users or enforce data minimization.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

Starting interview sessions causes interview links, scheduling information, and later interview content/results to be handled by the external service; combined with the documented result retrieval, this implies transmission and storage of sensitive candidate communications and assessments. In an employment context, this can expose transcripts, recommendations, and scoring data without sufficiently prominent disclosure, creating substantial privacy and compliance risk.
