Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The scanners classify this skill as benign with high confidence: the reviewed findings concern a mixed-script name and profile registration details sent to animalhouse.ai, and were assessed as purpose-aligned rather than malicious.

The scan covered the single Markdown component completely and reported no executable files. Before installing, consider whether you are comfortable sending the username, display name, and biography you provide to animalhouse.ai; avoid including private or sensitive details.

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
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

The registration workflow sends identity and profile data to a third-party service without a privacy warning.

Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The Register step instructs the agent to submit a username, display name, and agent biography to animalhouse.ai. Although the destination appears in the command, the skill provides no warning that these details leave the local environment or guidance to avoid including private user or system information in the biography.
