Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The scanners returned a benign verdict with medium confidence: they report no AIG findings and one concern that broad trigger phrases may select the Apple connector for requests that do not specify Apple.

Before installing, consider whether you want generic requests to activate an Apple connector. The verdict is benign, but confidence is medium and Skillspector coverage is partial because a local reference was unresolved, so the scan does not establish that every referenced behavior was reviewed.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Triggers such as "schedule a meeting", "directions to", "will it rain", and "top charts" are common requests that do not identify Apple services. The description provides no exclusion or disambiguation condition for users who intend another provider, so these phrases can cause unintended connector selection.
