Overview

This skill is a disclosed Xbox catalog research helper that uses a Crawlora API key to query limited public Xbox endpoints.

Before installing, users should be comfortable providing a Crawlora API key and sending Xbox research queries to Crawlora. The skill appears read-only and scoped to public Xbox catalog research, but users should still avoid placing secrets or unrelated personal data in query parameters.

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

Findings (6)

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs use of a bundled shell script (scripts/crawlora.sh) but does not declare any tool scope, permissions, or allowed-tools constraints. That creates an unnecessary trust gap where shell execution may occur without clear sandboxing or least-privilege boundaries, increasing the chance of unintended command execution or misuse in environments that honor skill metadata for policy enforcement.

External Transmission

Medium

• Category: 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.
