Viral App

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed viral.app CLI guide that can read and manage account, project, creator, and payout data, with explicit cautions around write actions.

Before installing, verify that you trust the external viral-app CLI and limit VIRAL_API_KEY permissions to the intended organization and tasks. Treat payout initiation or auto-approval as financial actions: review amounts, recipients, campaign IDs, and liability acknowledgements before allowing the agent to run them.

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

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- Always call `payouts-calculate` immediately before `payouts-initiate`.
- Pass the returned `calculation` payload and `integrityToken` into `payouts-initiate` unchanged.
- Do not invent or recompute `integrityToken`.
- If using `autoApproveTalentir=true`, also set `acknowledgeFullPayoutLiability=true` and explain the risk before executing.
- Prefer review-first behavior for payout mutations unless the user explicitly asks to initiate or approve payouts.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
75% 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.
