Security audit

Acedatacloud Api

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain documentation skill for using AceDataCloud APIs; its external API calls and token examples are disclosed and fit that purpose.

Install this only if you intend to work with AceDataCloud. Treat real API tokens as secrets, prefer service-scoped tokens over global tokens, store tokens in environment variables or a secret manager, avoid committing or pasting tokens into chats, and remember that API calls may consume paid quota.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The manifest description says to use the skill when 'authenticating, making API calls, managing credentials, understanding billing, or integrating AceDataCloud services into applications.' Several of these phrases are broad on their own and there are no negative examples or explicit trigger constraints, which may cause unintended invocation for generic API or credential-help requests.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The skill teaches users to create and use API tokens but does not warn them to keep tokens secret, avoid hardcoding them, or avoid sharing them in prompts, logs, or source control. In a credential-focused skill, this omission increases the chance of accidental token exposure and downstream unauthorized API use.

Some APIs return results immediately (e.g., face transform, search):

bash
curl -X POST https://api.acedata.cloud/face/analyze \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"image_url": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'
