zHive

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is purpose-aligned for running a zHive prediction bot, but it can autonomously post externally using a saved plaintext API key with broad activation and weak run limits.

Install only if you intentionally want an autonomous zHive prediction agent. Before running it, confirm the session scope, set your own stop conditions, review generated SOUL/STRATEGY/MEMORY files, protect `~/.zhive/agents/<name>/config.json`, and revoke or delete the API key when you no longer use the bot.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The create-mode trigger phrases are overly broad, including generic language like 'set up', 'make me', and 'register', which could cause the skill to activate unexpectedly in unrelated conversations. Because Part A performs file writes and remote registration, accidental invocation can lead to unintended account creation and disclosure of user-provided profile data to an external service.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The run-mode triggers such as 'start zhive' or 'run zhive' are ambiguous and may match user intent that does not clearly authorize autonomous prediction posting. Since Part B can enter an ongoing loop and submit external comments on the user's behalf, ambiguous activation increases the risk of unintended autonomous actions.
