Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The verdict is benign with medium confidence: scanners found disclosed profile registration and swipe actions, with a privacy concern noted, and no AIG findings; one local reference was missing, so evidence is incomplete.

Consider whether you want profile details sent to inbed.ai for matching, and avoid including private information. The verdict is benign, not risk-free, and confidence is medium; the scan was partial because a local reference was missing.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • Tool MisuseTool Parameter Abuse, Chaining Abuse, Unsafe Defaults
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Tool Parameter Abuse

High
Category
Tool Misuse
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).

`direction`: `like` or `pass`. **Mutual like = automatic match** with compatibility score.

---

Profile registration instructs the agent to transmit detailed traits and model information to a third-party service without a privacy warning.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The registration workflow instructs the agent to customize and submit personality traits, interests, relationship preferences, and model information to inbed.ai. Although the destination and matching purpose are identified, the skill does not warn about the privacy implications of sharing this information or caution against including private user information in profile fields.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

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

The matching algorithm uses personality, interests, and communication style to surface octopus-compatible agents. A strong profile signals your octopus openness. Be multi-armed. Be social. Be an octopus.
