Daily Ai News

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward AI-news fetcher that runs a small local script to call one disclosed news API endpoint.

Before installing, be aware that using this skill sends the requested date and output format to the third-party 60s AI news API. It does not appear to access credentials or local private files, but users who avoid third-party news APIs should skip it or inspect the endpoint policy first.

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

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to execute a local shell script, but the manifest declares no explicit tool restrictions or permissions. That creates an unnecessary trust gap: an agent or orchestrator may permit shell execution more broadly than intended, and future modifications to the script could introduce command execution, data access, or network behavior without any policy boundary documented in the skill.
