OpenRouter Vision Agent

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small, disclosed OpenRouter image-analysis skill, with the main risk being that images and prompts are sent to a third-party API.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending selected image URLs, uploaded image content, and prompts to OpenRouter. Do not use it for private, sensitive, regulated, or confidential images unless you have separately reviewed and accepted the provider’s data-handling terms.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill advertises broad triggers like 'analyze this image' and 'describe this picture,' which are generic requests likely to overlap with normal assistant behavior rather than a narrowly scoped OpenRouter-specific invocation. This can cause unintended routing of user images to a third-party service, increasing privacy and data-handling risk without clear user intent to use OpenRouter.
