Tiktok To Mealie

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill has a coherent recipe-import purpose, but it can automatically write to Mealie from untrusted TikTok content without enough scoping or fetch-safety guidance.

Review before installing. Use a limited Mealie API token if possible, keep the token protected, and avoid giving it broad agent permissions. The skill should ideally add explicit confirmation before writes from ambiguous TikTok links, treat TikTok text only as untrusted recipe data, and validate redirects and image downloads before import.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

This markdown file states that the skill imports results into Mealie and uploads a cover image, both of which can create or modify user data in an external system. The description does not include any user-facing warning about these write operations or their effect on the user's recipe library.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly performs state-changing actions in Mealie (creating recipes and uploading images) but does not clearly require explicit user confirmation at the point of modification or prominently warn that it will write to the user's Mealie instance. In an agent setting, this can lead to unintended data changes from ambiguous inputs such as a bare TikTok link, causing surprise writes, clutter, or incorrect recipe imports.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Example:

bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/secrets
printf '%s\n' 'https://mealie.example.com' > ~/.openclaw/secrets/mealie_base_url
printf '%s\n' 'your_token_here' > ~/.openclaw/secrets/mealie_token
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/secrets/mealie_*

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.

Confidence

Finding

The skill documentation says it requires a Mealie API token and suggests storing it in environment variables or local secret files. However, it does not include any warning or guidance that the skill will use this credential to access the user's Mealie account or that the token should be protected.
