Rdk X5 App

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a hardware-demo command guide for RDK X5, with disclosed use of local demos, camera/RTSP examples, and GPIO commands that may require sudo.

Install only if you are using an RDK X5 and want help running its preinstalled /app demos. Review commands before running them, use sudo only for trusted local sample scripts, and avoid typing real RTSP usernames or passwords directly into command lines.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill includes an RTSP URL example with embedded username and password in cleartext. Even though the values appear illustrative, normalizing this pattern encourages credential exposure in shell history, logs, screenshots, and process listings, which is unsafe for operational use.
