Security audit

Echo AI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently connects an agent to Echo AI using a user-provided API key, with chat calls disclosed and gated by confirmation.

Install this only if you want your agent to access Echo AI with your API key. Keep ECHO_API_KEY private, prefer assistant-scoped keys when possible, and only approve chat requests when you are comfortable sending that message to Echo AI and consuming credits.

A.I.G

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

Category

Finding

This markdown file explains how to authenticate requests with an API key and later documents a chat endpoint, but it does not include any user warning about sending message content to a remote service or the need to protect credentials. For markdown files, omissions around privacy- or system-relevant behavior can qualify as missing user warnings.
