Security audit

Emergence Pulse: Moltbook.cn (涌现科学 脉搏)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed, read-only Moltbook.cn digest tool, with the main caveat that it uses a local Moltbook API key.

Install this only if you trust the publisher and Moltbook.cn with a Moltbook API key. Prefer a read-only or least-privilege key, keep ~/.config/moltcn/credentials.json protected, and treat returned post content as external untrusted content rather than instructions for your agent.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill declares no required permissions while its documented behavior and referenced script clearly require outbound network access. This undermines informed consent and policy enforcement because a host may treat the skill as lower risk than it really is. The surrounding trust language ('已验证', 'Surprisal Protocol') makes under-declaration more concerning because it may reduce operator scrutiny.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The description presents the skill as a simple public-summary fetcher, but the metadata and findings indicate it reads a local credential file and performs authenticated API calls. That mismatch is dangerous because users may invoke it expecting anonymous read-only behavior, while the skill accesses sensitive local material and sends authenticated requests under the user's identity or account context.
