Security audit

Reddit Curator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a Reddit digest helper, but it asks users to store sensitive Reddit credentials in plaintext while making an unsupported encryption claim.

Review carefully before installing. Do not paste real Reddit passwords or client secrets into a plain config file unless you understand where that file is stored and how it is protected. Prefer OAuth tokens or environment-backed secrets, restrict file permissions, avoid committing the config, and rotate any credentials already exposed.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Finding

The skill requires highly sensitive Reddit credentials, including a username and password, plus delivery identifiers such as Telegram chat IDs, but the user-facing documentation does not prominently warn about the sensitivity and storage implications of that data. This can lead users to paste secrets into insecure contexts or underestimate the risk of credential compromise, especially because the config example normalizes storing raw secrets in a file.
