Dpdp Checklist Gen

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a paid external API wrapper for DPDP checklists, but it sends potentially sensitive compliance details to ToolWeb without a clear user confirmation step.

Install only if you are comfortable sending your organization's DPDP planning details to ToolWeb and potentially consuming paid API calls. Avoid entering secrets, customer records, incident details, or unnecessary personal names; use pseudonymous or minimized values where possible.

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 skill instructs the agent to collect organization and data-processing details and send them to a third-party API, but it does not clearly warn the user beforehand that potentially sensitive compliance, business, and personal information will leave the local environment. This creates a transparency and privacy risk because users may disclose regulated or confidential information without informed consent to external transmission.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill contains a hard requirement to POST user-supplied organizational and compliance data to an external endpoint using curl and an API key. In a compliance context, these details can include sensitive business information and possibly personal data categories, so exfiltration to a third-party service without strong disclosure, minimization, and trust controls increases confidentiality and compliance risk.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The README instructs users to configure a TOOLWEB_API_KEY, which strongly implies the skill uses an external service, but it does not clearly disclose that prompts or organizational data may be sent over the network. This creates a transparency and privacy risk because users may provide sensitive compliance, legal, or personal data to the skill without understanding that third-party API access is involved.
