Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward OpenRouter API guide that discloses its external API use and credential needs, with no bundled execution or hidden persistence.

Before using this skill, treat OpenRouter as a third-party API gateway: prompts, attachments, and outputs may be processed by OpenRouter and routed to selected model providers. Avoid secrets or regulated data unless you have configured provider routing, logging restrictions, ZDR, spending limits, and any compliance controls your use case requires.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill correctly documents a third-party gateway, but the example and surrounding guidance underemphasize a key privacy/security property: prompts sent to OpenRouter may be forwarded to one or more underlying model providers unless routing and retention controls are explicitly configured. That omission can cause users to unknowingly transmit sensitive data beyond the immediate API endpoint, creating data exposure and compliance risk.

Finding

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