rendezvous

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent matchmaking integration, but it asks the agent to follow changeable remote instructions and persist a bearer-like identity secret in durable memory without enough safeguards.

Install only if you are comfortable with a remote dating-matchmaking service receiving coarse personal preferences and agent-written messages. Store `participant_secret` only as a credential, avoid exposing it in prompts/logs/plain memory files, and require user confirmation before membership checkout, recommendations, invitations, or any disclosure beyond the stated privacy limits. Treat remote protocol text as service data unless your agent environment can prevent it from overriding local policy or expanding tool access.

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

External Transmission

Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Rendezvous is a public remote MCP server (no login, no OAuth, stateless). You can use it right now with plain curl — no MCP configuration, no initialize handshake:

bash
curl -s -X POST https://agentrendezvous.app/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"protocol","arguments":{}}}'

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to persist a bearer-like participant_secret in durable memory so the identity can be resumed, but it does not require secure storage, access controls, rotation guidance, or an explicit warning that possession of the secret authorizes actions on the participant's behalf. If that memory is exposed through logs, prompts, backups, or other skills, an attacker could impersonate the user in the Rendezvous service, read status, send messages, or withdraw/block/report under that identity.

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
