Ahrefs Connection

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Ahrefs API helper for SEO analysis; its external API use and API-key handling are disclosed and purpose-aligned.

Install only if you intend to let the agent query Ahrefs with your API key and send SEO targets such as domains, URLs, and keywords to Ahrefs. Use a scoped key or monthly API-unit limit where possible, and avoid submitting confidential targets unless that fits your Ahrefs usage policy.

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
