Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Google Trends lookup helper that sends user-provided trend queries to Apify using the user's Apify token.

Install only if you are comfortable using Apify for Google Trends lookups. Treat APIFY_TOKEN like a secret, review Apify billing because the skill states usage costs may apply, and avoid sending sensitive private search terms unless that fits your use case.

A.I.G

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
