Data Breach Impact Calculator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This API-backed breach-cost calculator is coherent, but it should be reviewed because it sends potentially sensitive breach scenario details to ToolWeb without clear privacy or consent guidance.

Review this skill before installing. Use it only if you are comfortable sending breach-assessment inputs to ToolWeb, and avoid entering real customer records, PHI, credentials, incident identifiers, or confidential business details unless your organization has approved that sharing. Confirm the provider's privacy, retention, and security terms before using it for real incidents.

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

Finding

The README encourages users to submit data-breach scenarios, including regulated and potentially highly sensitive details, while also requiring an external API key and naming a third-party service. It does not clearly disclose that prompts or breach details may be transmitted to that external provider, which creates a material risk of unintended disclosure of incident details, regulated data, or confidential business information.

External Transmission

Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence

Finding

The skill is explicitly designed to transmit user-supplied assessment data to an external API via curl, which is a real external data transfer path. In a security-context skill dealing with breach scenarios, the transmitted fields may include highly sensitive operational, regulatory, and incident information, making the external transmission more dangerous than a generic API call.

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to collect detailed breach-related inputs and always send them to a third-party API, but it does not clearly warn the user at the point of collection that potentially sensitive incident details will leave the local environment. This creates a privacy and compliance risk because users may disclose regulated or confidential breach information without informed consent or data-minimization safeguards.
