Epstein Files Search

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 3:23 PM UTC
• Version: 1.1.0

Overview

This skill is a straightforward command-line search wrapper for a public Epstein document index, with expected external queries and no persistence or local data access found.

Install only if you are comfortable with your search terms being sent to the DugganUSA analytics API. The reviewed artifact does not show local data collection, credential use, persistence, or destructive actions, but it depends on a third-party search endpoint for results.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• MCP Least Privilege: Underdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 91% confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly requires network-capable binaries (node, curl) and is designed to query external DOJ/DugganUSA endpoints, but it does not declare any tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. This creates a mismatch between documented behavior and enforcement, increasing the risk that an agent runtime will grant broader-than-necessary network or execution access without clear user-visible constraints.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

• Category: Data Exfiltration
• Confidence: 50% confidence

Finding

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