Security audit

veida-image

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The scanners rate this skill benign with high confidence: its findings mainly concern sending image prompts to an external service, while the other flagged patterns were judged unlikely to apply to its purpose.

Before installing, consider that image prompts are sent to veida.ai for processing. Avoid including confidential or sensitive details in prompts; the scanners do not report a privacy warning in the workflow.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

The image-generation workflow sends user prompts to a third-party service without a privacy warning.

Output Handling
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The workflow instructs an agent to send image prompts to an external provider without a privacy warning or guidance to exclude confidential information. Although external processing is inherent to this skill and the provider is named, a generic request for an image does not necessarily authorize disclosure of sensitive prompt details to that provider.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

`reason` is `anon_credits` (this client id is spent) or `anon_ip_daily` (this machine is done
for the day). Without checking for `wall` this surfaces as a confusing "no task id".
