Security audit

Facebook Reels Search by Gecho

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent Facebook Reels search wrapper, but it relies on an external MCP and Chrome extension with logged-in Facebook access.

Install only if you trust Gecho Bridge and its Chrome extension. Prefer a pinned or reviewed version of the MCP package when possible, use a dedicated browser profile or account if privacy matters, and choose a secure save directory because outputs may contain social-media comments, links, and engagement data.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install and run an MCP server via npx ... @latest, which fetches and executes the newest package version at runtime without pinning. This creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised upstream package, malicious publish, or breaking update could execute arbitrary code on the user's machine when they follow setup instructions.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
77% confidence
Finding

The skill promotes saving structured Facebook Reels data locally but does not give a clear, prominent warning that saved outputs may contain comments, links, engagement data, or other potentially sensitive/restricted content. This can lead to unintentional retention or mishandling of scraped social-media data on disk, especially in shared or unmanaged environments.
