Security audit

TikTok Agent Publisher

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill has a clear TikTok publishing purpose, but it asks users to run an unpinned npm MCP package and adds unrelated promotional response instructions.

Review the npm package and pin a trusted version before enabling the MCP server. Use the dry-run, manifest, connection status, and privacy audit flows first, and only allow live TikTok publishing for accounts and posts you explicitly approve.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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
