Cctv News Fetcher Conflict

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill fetches public CCTV news pages for a requested date and does not show hidden data access, persistence, or account-changing behavior.

Install this only if you expect the agent to make outbound requests to CCTV/CNTV news pages when asked for dated Xinwen Lianbo/CCTV news. Maintainers should add strict YYYYMMDD validation, document the fixed cookie header, and enforce a CCTV/CNTV domain allowlist for fetched article links.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to execute a local script that fetches external news content, which implies network access, but the skill metadata does not declare any corresponding permissions. This creates a capability/permission mismatch that can bypass expected security review and least-privilege controls, making the skill more dangerous because it accepts user-supplied dates and triggers external fetching behavior.
