Beekeeping Basics

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly ordinary beekeeping guidance, but it asks for unnecessary filesystem access and uses an unpinned executable install command.

Install only if you are comfortable with the unpinned `npx` installer and the skill receiving filesystem capability. Prefer a pinned, trusted ClawHub installer and remove or constrain filesystem access before use. For mite treatments or chemical handling, follow approved product labels and local apiary guidance rather than relying solely on this skill.

Vulnerability Patterns

Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
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

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The description says to use the skill when someone wants to improve garden pollination or is evaluating whether beekeeping fits their situation, which could match many general gardening or lifestyle questions beyond explicit beekeeping intent. The file does not provide negative examples or tighter trigger constraints to distinguish when this skill should activate versus a generic gardening or hobby-advice skill.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Rp1

Medium

Category: MCP Rug Pull
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The install command references npx clawhub without pinning a specific version, which creates a supply-chain risk: future or compromised package releases could change behavior at install time. Because this appears in install metadata, users or systems may execute it directly, increasing exposure to unintended code execution.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 87% confidence
Finding: The skill gives actionable instructions for handling hazardous substances and equipment, including rubbing alcohol, oxalic acid vapor, formic acid, and amitraz, but lacks a prominent upfront safety section and strong gating before operational guidance. In a consumer-oriented beginner skill, this omission increases the chance that inexperienced users follow dangerous procedures without understanding PPE, ventilation, legal restrictions, toxicity, or emergency precautions.
