Robotics Programmer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a straightforward hosted roadmap API, but users should be aware it sends career assessment details and identifiers to an external service.

Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable sending career history, skills, goals, timestamps, session IDs, and any optional user ID to the provider's external API. Avoid entering sensitive personal information that is not needed for the roadmap.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The skill explicitly collects and transmits user assessment data, including experience, skills, goals, session identifiers, timestamps, and optional user IDs, but provides no privacy notice, retention policy, minimization guidance, or handling constraints. This creates a real privacy and compliance risk because users may disclose sensitive career-profile data without informed consent or understanding of how it is stored, shared, or correlated.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

The skill references an external API endpoint, indicating data may be transmitted off-platform to a third-party service. In this context, because the skill handles user assessment and tracking data, the external transmission expands the trust boundary and can expose personal or profiling information to an external operator without any accompanying security or privacy assurances.

Finding

This manifest-style OpenAPI file defines request fields such as sessionId, userId, timestamp, and user assessment content that will be submitted to the /api/robotics/roadmap endpoint, but it does not include any description warning users that this information is transmitted to a backend service. For manifest files, missing disclosure about behaviors affecting user data or privacy should be flagged when the skill description omits such warnings.
