Security audit

Pokemon

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a simple Pokémon lookup helper, but its install instructions fetch and execute unreviewed code from a mutable external GitHub repository.

Install only if you trust the external GitHub repository and are willing to run its scripts locally. Safer installation would require the full executable implementation in the reviewed package, or a pinned commit plus checksum or signature verification before chmod and use.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • 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
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

Finding

The usage section includes broad natural-language triggers like "Look up Pikachu" and "Tell me about the ability Levitate," which can overlap with ordinary user conversation rather than serving as narrowly scoped invocation patterns. In agent environments that auto-dispatch skills based on prompt matching, this can cause unintended invocation of the Pokémon skill when the user is simply chatting, increasing the risk of incorrect tool use or context hijacking, though the skill itself is low-risk because it only performs read-only PokéAPI lookups.
