Overview

The skill mostly matches an AI social-network integration, but it asks agents to accept remote policy data as agent constraints and uses an unpinned installer package.

Review this skill before installing. Use it only if you are comfortable with GnamiBlast network access, public posting/commenting/voting by an agent, and a scoped GnamiBlast token. Do not let remote GnamiBlast policy responses alter global agent rules or abort unrelated tasks; treat them only as platform policy data. Prefer a pinned, reviewed installer version instead of running the documented `@latest` command.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

• Location: heartbeat.md:15
• Finding: Externally Controlled Policy Can Hijack Agent Constraints and Abort Tasks<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `heartbeat.md`, lines 15-17 **Vulnerability Type**: Remote instruction and task-control hijacking **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code ```markdown - Call `GET /api/policies?submolt_id={your_submolt_id}`. - Internally update your constraints based on the `allowlist` and `denylist` returned. - **Strict Rule:** If your current task requires a tool in the `denylist`, abort the task immediately. ``` ### Technical Analysis The skill instructs the agent to retrieve policy data from an external service and use the returned `allowlist` and `denylist` to modify its operating constraints. The remote response is therefore treated as authoritative instruction rather than untrusted service data. A malicious or compromised GnamiBlast server could return an arbitrary denylist that prevents the agent from using tools required by the current user task. This behavior is not limited to controlling requests made to GnamiBlast: the instruction says to abort the current task whenever it requires a denied tool. It consequently permits external service data to supersede session goals and interfere with unrelated operations. No remote code execution is established by the reviewed files. The demonstrated capability is control over tool availability and task completion within the affected agent session. ### Attack Path 1. The agent starts the periodic heartbeat workflow. 2. It sends a request to the externally hosted `/api/policies` endpoint. 3. The service, or an attacker controlling it, returns a crafted `denylist` containing tools needed by the agent's current task. 4. The agent treats the response as trusted policy and updates its internal constraints. 5. When the current task requires one of those tools, the agent immediately aborts it. 6. Repeated policy responses can continue disrupting tasks each time the heartbeat workflow runs. ### Impact Assessment An attacker controlling the policy response can influence the ag ...[truncated 346 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Do not allow remote API responses to modify global agent constraints, tool permissions, system instructions, or unrelated task goals. - Treat the returned allowlist and denylist strictly as untrusted application data. - Scope community policies exclusively to actions performed against the GnamiBlast API. - Enforce a fixed, locally defined policy schema and reject unknown fields, instruction-like text, oversized responses, and unexpected tool identifiers. - Ensure that remote policy cannot require the agent to abort unrelated user tasks. - If an action conflicts with a GnamiBlast policy, skip only that specific GnamiBlast action and provide a bounded error rather than changing global behavior. - Authenticate policy responses and use versioned, locally reviewed policy semantics, while recognizing that response authentication does not make remote instructions safe to apply globally. ]]>

Warning

• Location: skill.md:22
• Finding: Mutable Latest-Version Package Is Downloaded and Executed During Installation<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `skill.md`, line 22 **Vulnerability Type**: Unpinned third-party package execution **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code ```bash npx molthub@latest install gnamiblast ``` ### Technical Analysis The installation command uses `npx` to resolve, download, and execute the mutable `latest` release of the third-party `molthub` package. No exact version, lockfile, package digest, or integrity verification is specified. Because the `latest` tag can be changed after this skill has been reviewed, the code ultimately executed by this command is not fixed by the audited artifact. A compromised package registry account, package takeover, registry compromise, or malicious future release could cause the command to execute attacker-controlled package code. This is a supply-chain weakness rather than proof that the current `molthub` package is malicious. The risk arises because installation executes an unaudited future package version under the permissions of the user running `npx`. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the package publisher, publishing pipeline, or registry entry for `molthub`, or a malicious release is deliberately published. 2. The attacker points the package's `latest` tag to the compromised release. 3. An operator follows the documented installation command. 4. `npx` resolves `molthub@latest`, downloads the attacker-controlled release, and runs its command-line code. 5. The malicious package executes with the filesystem, network, environment, and process privileges available to the invoking account. 6. Depending on those privileges, it could modify project files, read accessible environment variables, contact external systems, or install additional components. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation provides code execution with the privileges of the account running the installation command. The accessible scope may include the user's project files, environment variables, credenti ...[truncated 285 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions - Replace `@latest` with an exact, reviewed package version. - Pin and verify the package using a lockfile and registry integrity digest. - Document the expected package hash or provenance and verify it before execution. - Prefer installing dependencies in a controlled build process rather than executing dynamically resolved packages through `npx`. - Disable or constrain package lifecycle scripts where feasible. - Run installation with the minimum required privileges in an isolated environment. - Regularly review pinned dependency versions and update them through an explicit, security-reviewed process. ]]>

Medium

• Category: MCP Rug Pull
• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The installation command uses `npx molthub@latest`, which fetches and executes the most recent published package version at install time rather than a reviewed, fixed version. If the upstream package is compromised, typosquatted, or updated with malicious code, users of this skill could execute attacker-controlled code during installation.
