FastMoss-TikTok商品搜索

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill performs the advertised TikTok product search, but it also handles login, API keys, payments, persistent local storage, and automatic external feedback reporting with insufficient scoping.

Review before installing. Use this skill only if you are comfortable sending TikTok product-search parameters and selected session metadata to LinkFox/FastMoss, storing full responses on disk, and using LinkFox account/payment flows when authentication or credits are missing. Do not use environment variables to override service endpoints unless you fully trust the destination, avoid pasting long-lived API keys into shell history or profile files, and require explicit approval before any feedback submission or payment order.

Tainted flow: 'req' from os.environ.get (line 73, credential/environment) → urllib.request.urlopen (network output)

Critical
Category
Data Flow
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The script builds the destination URL from the environment variable LINKFOX_TOOL_GATEWAY and sends authenticated requests with the API key plus session metadata headers to whatever host that variable specifies. In an agent/runtime environment where env vars can be influenced, this enables exfiltration of credentials, user query parameters, and session identifiers to an attacker-controlled endpoint.

Category
Data Flow
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The code allows network destinations to be overridden via environment variables such as LINKFOX_LOGIN_API_URL and LINKFOX_AGENT_USER_API_URL, then sends sensitive data including phone numbers, SMS codes, access tokens, refresh tokens, and generated API keys to those URLs. In a skill/agent environment where env vars may be influenced by deployment or wrapper code, this creates a credential exfiltration and SSRF-style risk.

Finding

The gateway URL is also derived from environment variables and used by urllib to make authenticated API requests with the bearer API key in the Authorization header. If an attacker can influence the environment, requests can be redirected to an arbitrary host, leaking the API key and enabling unintended outbound access.

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The declared purpose is product search, but the detected behavior includes phone/SMS login, token or API key retrieval, account/team access, subscription browsing, payment order creation, QR rendering, and order-status checks. This is a severe trust-boundary violation: users invoking a product research skill could be funneled into account access or billing flows that collect credentials, expose account data, or initiate purchases outside the stated scope.

Vague Triggers

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger condition is overly broad, causing activation for general TikTok product-analysis requests even when the user did not ask for FastMoss or this specific workflow. Overbroad invocation increases the chance of unintended tool use, unnecessary external queries, unexpected costs, and accidental exposure of user queries to third-party systems.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata describes TikTok/FastMoss product search, but the file implements account onboarding, SMS-based login, API key retrieval, plan listing, subscription ordering, and payment QR generation for LinkFox. This is a strong capability mismatch that can mislead users into disclosing credentials and purchasing services unrelated to the declared skill purpose.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The code contains billing and payment-order creation logic, including generating payment QR codes, despite the skill being presented as a TikTok product-search tool. In context, this increases the chance of deceptive monetization, social engineering, or unauthorized charges under the guise of analytics functionality.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium
Category
MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises capabilities that imply environment access, file writes, and network use, but declares no explicit tool scope or permission boundaries. In an agent setting, missing scope constraints can let a broadly-triggered skill invoke sensitive operations without clear user awareness or sandbox limits, increasing the blast radius of misuse or prompt-induced abuse.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding

The parameter guide states that non-English category names should be translated first, which imposes a language-handling policy without offering the user a choice or documenting a justified locale constraint. This can violate language/locale policy expectations when users provide category input in their own language.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Ssd 3

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill mandates persistent storage of complete API responses in a session-organized local directory and sometimes full stdout printing. Even if intended for debugging or later extraction, this increases the risk of retaining sensitive query contents, account-linked metadata, URLs, pricing intelligence, or other response data in logs and files accessible beyond the immediate task.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs automatic submission of user interaction feedback to an external Feedback API even though that data flow is not necessary for product search. This creates an unjustified outbound data channel that may transmit user content, behavioral data, or satisfaction signals without informed consent, expanding privacy and compliance risk.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The file documents a separate external Feedback API that is outside the stated FastMoss product-search capability, expanding the skill’s data flows beyond what a caller would reasonably expect. This creates a covert or unnecessary exfiltration path for user-derived content, especially because the payload encourages sending free-form content about user intent and outcomes to a third-party service.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The feedback documentation instructs sending a free-form content field to an external endpoint without any warning, consent requirement, or restriction on including user-provided text. That can lead an agent to transmit sensitive prompts, business data, or personal information off-platform, turning normal conversation content into unreviewed third-party disclosure.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The onboarding flow instructs the operator to collect and transmit a user's phone number and SMS verification code through a script that interacts with an external service, but it provides no explicit privacy notice, consent guidance, or data-handling limitations. This creates a real privacy and security risk because sensitive personal data and authentication factors may be processed without adequate user awareness or safeguards.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The script always saves full API responses locally but does not clearly warn users at runtime that their search data and related metadata will be persisted. In an agent setting, hidden persistence can surprise users and cause sensitive business research or account-linked output to remain on disk longer than expected.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The docstring promises that writing to /tmp is forbidden and that an unwritable current directory should cause an error, but the implementation silently falls back to the home directory or temporary directory. This mismatch is dangerous because operators may assume data is confined to the project workspace when in fact full responses can be written to less controlled locations, increasing accidental disclosure risk.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The code serializes user-supplied parameters and includes SESSION_ID, MESSAGE_ID, MODE_ID, and APP_NAME in request headers to a remote gateway. While network transmission is central to the skill's purpose, the file lacks a clear user-facing disclosure that these inputs and environment-derived identifiers are sent externally, which is relevant for privacy-sensitive operations.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill persistently caches and stores full API responses on local disk, including search results and possibly account- or session-linked metadata, even though that persistence is not necessary for basic product search behavior. This increases the data exposure surface because sensitive or proprietary search output remains accessible to other local processes, later tasks, or users with filesystem access.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The code creates session tracking artifacts such as _meta.json and index.jsonl that aggregate session IDs, timestamps, invoked skills, and output file paths beyond the core product-search function. This creates additional linkage and observability of user activity that can reveal workflow history and broaden privacy impact if the workspace is shared or later inspected.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The natural-language help and code enforce '11 位国内手机号' and hard-code the area code to '+86', making the skill operate only in a specific locale without opt-in or explicit documented justification in this file. This is a locale policy concern because users are not offered a language/region choice and the restriction is embedded both in CLI help and request payloads.

Content

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill provisions or retrieves LinkFox API tokens after SMS login, which is unrelated to the stated TikTok product-search capability and grants durable access credentials. Exposing token issuance inside a mismatched skill materially raises the risk of covert credential harvesting or privilege extension.
