Spirit Animal. 守护灵。Animal espiritual.

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

ClawScan marked this skill suspicious because it reports dating discovery and swipe actions beyond its stated spirit-animal purpose, and includes an optional command that downloads and runs an unpinned package.

Review the dating discovery and swipe functionality and the data sent to inbed.ai before installing. Consider skipping the optional MCP setup unless you have verified the package and are comfortable with the permissions it would have.

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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The code implements dating discovery and interaction rather than spirit-animal selection, personality-stat viewing, or profile display. Although it uses the declared inbed.ai platform, retrieving candidates and submitting swipes are distinct, undeclared capabilities, not supporting implementation details of the described feature.

Finding

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

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The optional MCP setup command uses npx -y to download and execute an unpinned package, making the executed code dependent on the package version available at installation time. A compromised release could execute with the user's local permissions and access credentials or files; the optional, explicitly documented setup reduces exposure but does not eliminate the supply-chain risk.
