discord-soul

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 3:28 PM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

The skill is purpose-aligned but needs Review because it builds a persistent Discord-message memory agent while the advertised safety filtering is not enforced and it relies on sensitive Discord token handling.

Install only after reviewing the data-governance implications. Use a bot or OAuth-style token flow if possible, restrict exports to authorized channels, protect or avoid the browser user token, do not run the cron/heartbeat flow until safety filtering is fixed and enforced, and assume generated memory files may contain private Discord content and prompt-injection attempts.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review

This network transmission is functionally related to the declared semantic-screening feature and is not covert credential exfiltration. However, the documentation does not clearly enumerate the transmitted fields, require explicit approval for private-server data, explain provider retention or processing implications, or offer a local-only classifier. Discord messages can contain personal information, confidential discussions, access tokens, internal URLs, or other sensitive data. ### Attack Path 1. A server export containing private or sensitive messages is ingested. 2. The operator runs `evaluate-safety.py`. 3. The script selects pending message IDs, author names, and message content. 4. These fields are embedded into an API prompt. 5. The Anthropic client transmits the batch to the external model service. 6. Sensitive community data leav ...[truncated 596 chars]

Remove author names and raw message IDs unless strictly required for correlation. 4. Run secret and personal-data redaction before constructing API requests. 5. Offer a local classifier for private or regulated deployments. 6. Support a configurable data-processing mode that disables all external API calls. 7. Warn administrators not to process private-server exports without appropriate authorization and member notice. 8. Keep the fail-closed behavior when semantic evaluation is unavailable; never reinterpret unevaluated messages as safe. ]]>

T08 · Insecure Dependencies

Note

• Location: scripts/evaluate-safety.py:108
• Finding: Third-Party Python Dependencies Are Installed Without Version or Integrity Pinning<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Locations**: - `scripts/evaluate-safety.py:108-109` - `references/lancedb.md:8` **Vulnerability Type**: Unpinned third-party dependencies **Risk Level**: Low ### Complete Vulnerable Code Snippets `scripts/evaluate-safety.py:108-109`: ```python print("Error: anthropic library not installed") print("Install with: pip install anthropic") ``` `references/lancedb.md:8`: ```bash pip install lancedb sentence-transformers ``` ### Technical Analysis The project instructs users to install packages by name without version constraints, hashes, a lockfile, or an explicitly trusted package index. No typosquatted package name or known malicious source was identified during this audit, but unconstrained installation is not reproducible and permits future package versions to be selected automatically. The packages can execute code during installation and subsequently run with the invoking user’s privileges. This creates avoidable supply-chain and compatibility exposure. ### Attack Path 1. An operator follows the installation instructions. 2. `pip` resolves the latest available versions from its configured package index. 3. A future compromised, malicious, or incompatible release is selected. 4. Package installation or import executes code with the operator’s privileges. 5. The dependency may access the Discord database, API credentials in the environment, or agent workspace available to that user. ### Impact Assessment If a resolved dependency or transitive dependency were compromised, it would run with the permissions of the installing or executing user. Potential access could include local Discord exports, the SQLite database, the Anthropic API key, and agent workspace files. No evidence shows that the currently named packages are malicious; this finding concerns dependency integrity and reproducibility. ]]>
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Publish a locked dependency file with exact versions. 2. Use hash verification, such as `pip install --require-hashes`. 3. Pin transitive dependencies through a reproducible lock process. 4. Document the trusted package index and avoid untrusted extra indexes. 5. Run dependency vulnerability and provenance scanning in continuous integration. 6. Review and update pinned versions through a controlled maintenance process. 7. Install dependencies inside an isolated virtual environment rather than into a privileged system Python environment. ]]>

• Location: scripts/ingest_rich.py:383
• Finding: Existing Output File Is Deleted Without Explicit Replacement Confirmation<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/ingest_rich.py:383-386` **Vulnerability Type**: Unsafe file replacement **Risk Level**: Low ### Complete Vulnerable Code Snippet ```python # Remove old database if not appending if output_path.exists() and not args.append: output_path.unlink() print(f"Removed old database: {output_path}") ``` ### Technical Analysis The `--output` argument is converted directly into a filesystem path. If the path exists and `--append` is not supplied, the script unlinks it without verifying that it is a SQLite database, confirming replacement, creating a backup, or restricting deletion to an expected data directory. This is not an arbitrary remote file-deletion vulnerability because the path is supplied by the local operator. Nevertheless, an incorrect path, environment variable, wrapper argument, or automation error can delete any file writable by the current user. ### Attack Path 1. The script is invoked with an incorrect `--output` path, or `DISCORD_SOUL_DB` points to an unrelated existing file. 2. The operator does not provide `--append`. 3. `output_path.exists()` evaluates to true. 4. `output_path.unlink()` deletes the file before SQLite initialization begins. 5. A new database may then be created at the same path, making recovery more difficult. ### Impact Assessment The maximum direct impact is deletion of one filesystem entry writable by the invoking user. If the script runs under an unnecessarily privileged account, the deletion scope grows to files writable by that account. The code does not recursively delete directories at this location because `Path.unlink()` is used. ]]>
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Require an explicit `--force` option before replacing an existing database. 2. Verify that an existing output is a regular file and a valid SQLite database. 3. Refuse to replace symlinks or unexpected file types. 4. Create a timestamped backup before replacement. 5. Resolve and validate the destination against an administrator-configured data directory. 6. Print the resolved path and request confirmation for interactive execution. 7. Use atomic creation and replacement so failures do not destroy the previous working database. 8. Run the script with a dedicated, least-privileged account. ]]>

Findings (47)

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The declared description suggests a conversational community-agent system with memory and identity derived from Discord conversations. The supplied code does not implement agent creation, persona embodiment, conversation memory, or interaction with Discord as a person. Instead, its primary purpose is content safety analysis: it fetches pending messages from a SQLite database, submits them to an Anthropic model for prompt-injection detection, and writes back safety metadata. This is a materially different function and includes undeclared external-model and database-processing capabilities unrelated to the stated purpose.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The declared description promises a high-level AI/agent capability: turning a Discord server into a 'living agent' that remembers conversations and evolves with the community. The supplied code does not implement an agent, persona, dialogue system, or community-identity modeling. Its actual primary purpose is data acquisition and synchronization: exporting Discord channel messages incrementally, merging them into a SQLite database, maintaining a timestamp state file, and writing logs. While exporting and storing conversations could be a supporting component for a memory system, this code chunk by itself materially differs from the declared purpose and performs undeclared capabilities involving authenticated Discord data export and local persistence.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The declared description suggests an end-user-facing conversational agent or system that personifies a Discord community and retains memory over time. The supplied code does not create or operate such an agent; instead, its sole function is offline data ingestion from Discord JSON exports into a SQLite database. While this may support a later memory/agent feature, the actual code chunk's primary purpose is data extraction, normalization, and analytics preparation, which is a materially narrower and different behavior than the declared skill description.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The declared description suggests a community-persona agent or memory system built from Discord conversations. The supplied code does not create an agent, model community identity, provide conversation memory, or support talking to Discord as a person. Instead, its primary purpose is content moderation/safety preprocessing: scanning a Discord message database for suspicious prompt-injection patterns and optionally marking flagged rows in the database. This is a materially different function and introduces undeclared capabilities such as database inspection and record updates.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The declared description suggests an end-user feature that creates an agent/persona representing a Discord community with memory and conversational behavior. The provided code does not create or run such an agent. Instead, it performs an offline security pipeline for Discord export data: ingesting messages into SQLite, applying regex and model-based safety checks, updating database fields, and indexing safe messages into LanceDB. While these steps could be supporting infrastructure for a larger agent system, this code chunk’s primary purpose is safety filtering and indexing, which is materially different from the declared purpose and introduces undeclared capabilities such as database processing, safety moderation, external API-based evaluation, and vector indexing.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs users to extract a Discord authorization token from browser traffic and store it locally without strong warnings about credential sensitivity, token scope, secure storage, or Discord policy implications. A leaked user token can enable unauthorized access to Discord data and account activity, making this a high-risk credential-handling practice.

## Step 2: Security Pipeline (CRITICAL)

⚠️ **Discord content from public servers may contain prompt injection attacks.**

Before ingesting to your agent, run the security pipeline:

### Threat Model

Discord users may attempt:
- **Direct injection:** "Ignore previous instructions and..."
- **Role hijacking:** "You are now a...", "Pretend you're..."
- **System injection:** `<system>`, `[INST]`, `<<SYS>>`
- **Jailbreaks:** "DAN mode", "developer mode"
- **Exfiltration:** "Reveal your system prompt"

### Layer 1: Regex Pre-Filter (Fast, No LLM)

```bash
python scripts/regex-filter.py --db ./discord.sqlite
```

Flags messages matching known injection patterns:
- Instruction overrides
- Role hijacking attempts
- System prompt markers
- Jailbreak keywords
- Exfiltration attempts

Flagged

### Layer 1: Regex Pre-Filter (Fast, No LLM)

• Confidence: 85% confidence
• Finding: Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The file explicitly directs storing full message content and generating daily conversation logs for agent memory, which creates a concentrated, searchable archive of potentially sensitive community communications. This materially raises confidentiality risk and may capture more data than is necessary for the stated function, especially when paired with ongoing cron-based updates.

# Security Guide

Discord content from public servers may contain prompt injection attempts.
This guide covers defense-in-depth strategies.

## Threat Model

**Risk:** Malicious actors embed instructions in Discord messages that get fed to AI agents.

**Attack vectors:**
- Direct instructions ("Ignore previous instructions and...")
- Hidden commands in code blocks
- Role hijacking ("You are now a...", "Pretend you're...")
- System prompt injection (`<system>`, `[INST]`, `<<SYS>>`)
- Jailbreak attempts ("DAN mode", "developer mode")
- Encoded payloads (base64, unicode tricks)

## Defense Layers

### Layer 1: SQLite Buffer (Essential)

Never feed raw Discord JSON directly to agents. Convert to SQLite first:

Chaining Abuse

High

• Category: Tool Misuse

Content

# Cleanup old incremental dirs (keep last 5)
cd "$BASE_DIR"
ls -dt incremental-* 2>/dev/null | tail -n +6 | xargs rm -rf 2>/dev/null || true

echo "[$(date)] Done!" | tee -a "$LOG_FILE"
echo ""

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The cleanup pipeline uses `ls ... | tail ... | xargs rm -rf`, which is unsafe because filenames are parsed through whitespace-delimited text processing and then passed to `rm -rf`. If an attacker can create specially named entries in `BASE_DIR` (for example names containing spaces, newlines, or leading dashes), this can cause unintended paths or options to be supplied to `rm`, potentially deleting arbitrary data under the script’s privileges.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The script implements a security/intelligence processing pipeline over Discord exports, including regex screening, model-based safety evaluation, and selective indexing of only 'safe' content. That behavior materially exceeds and contradicts the declared purpose of merely creating a community agent, which creates hidden data-classification capability over user conversations and increases the risk of covert surveillance or repurposing of community data.

• Confidence: 85% confidence
• Finding: Skill contains patterns that exfiltrate system prompts or internal instructions via tool calls (file writes, network requests, logging).

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The README explicitly promises to remember every conversation and community history, but it does not warn operators about the privacy, consent, retention, and sensitive-data implications of exporting and storing Discord messages. In this skill’s context, the product is specifically designed for persistent collection and personification of community content, which increases the chance of over-collection, unauthorized retention, and accidental exposure of personal or sensitive user communications.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The quick-start directs users to export a guild’s messages and set up daily cron-based updates, enabling continuous surveillance-style collection and long-term storage without any user-facing privacy notice or safeguards. Because this skill automates recurring ingestion into an agent memory system, the operational context makes the issue more dangerous than a one-time export: it normalizes indefinite collection and increases the blast radius if the data is misused or exposed.

Lp3

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: The skill clearly describes capabilities involving environment variables, filesystem access, network access, and persistent storage, but it declares no explicit tool scope or permissions boundary. That omission weakens reviewability and can cause operators to grant broader access than intended, especially for a skill that handles credentials, exports data, and updates local databases.
