OATDA List Models

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently lists OATDA models using a disclosed API key and does not show hidden, destructive, or persistent behavior.

Install this only if you use OATDA and are comfortable with the agent reading your OATDA API key from the environment or ~/.oatda/credentials.json to make GET requests to oatda.com. Avoid using it for general model advice unless you specifically want OATDA model availability.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The manifest description says the skill triggers when the user wants to 'find the right model for a task' or 'know which providers are supported,' which are broad natural-language intents rather than specific invocation phrases or constrained contexts. Without narrower trigger scope or negative examples, this could overlap with many ordinary AI-related conversations and cause unintended activation.
