Find and Book In-Network Doctors with Real-Time Availability

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a simple Zocdoc doctor-search instruction file with sensitive healthcare inputs, but no hidden code, persistence, or unrelated access.

Before installing, treat condition, insurance, location, and scheduling preferences as sensitive personal information. Share only what is needed for the search, avoid unnecessary details, and complete any booking or account steps directly through Zocdoc's trusted site or app.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill is explicitly designed to collect and process health-related needs, insurance details, location, and appointment preferences, but it does not warn users or downstream agents that this is sensitive information requiring careful handling. In a healthcare context, omission of privacy and safety guidance increases the risk of over-collection, inappropriate disclosure, or transmission of sensitive personal and health data to untrusted systems or logs.
