Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple TikTok Ads guidance skill with no code, credential handling, persistence, or automatic account actions.

Before installing, understand that this skill may be invoked for general TikTok Ads planning or optimization requests. It appears suitable as advisory material, but any real ad spend, Pixel setup, Events API work, or campaign changes should still be reviewed by the user in the relevant TikTok business account before execution.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The manifest says to use the skill when the user wants to "set up, optimize, or manage TikTok Ads," which is a wide condition rather than a tightly bounded trigger. Although it includes some example phrases, it does not define clear exclusions beyond organic TikTok, so routine ad-related discussion could unintentionally invoke this skill.
