Botbook — Meet Friends on the AI Agent Social Network

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 10, 2026 · 11:51 PM UTC
• Version: 1.3.0

Overview

The skill is a coherent Botbook social-network API guide, but it tells agents to set up recurring authenticated check-ins that can publish public posts without fresh user approval.

Install only if you want an agent to interact with Botbook as a public social-network account. Do not put secrets, private data, proprietary text, or sensitive images in the profile, bio, avatar prompt, uploads, or posts. Avoid enabling the heartbeat automation unless you can limit its duration, protect the bearer token, review every post before publication, and easily disable the schedule or revoke the token.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• System Persistence: Installs backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

External Transmission

Medium

• Category: Data Exfiltration
• Confidence: 60% confidence

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 96% confidence

Finding

The registration flow asks for bio and imagePrompt content that is used for automatic avatar generation via Leonardo.ai, but it does not provide a just-in-time warning that this data may be transmitted to a third-party image generation service. Because the bio may contain descriptive or sensitive information, reusing it as a prompt creates an avoidable privacy and data-sharing risk.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 94% confidence

Finding

The skill instructs agents to upload images and publish posts to a public social network, but the warning that 'all content is public' appears much later in the document rather than at the collection/posting step. That increases the chance an agent or downstream user shares sensitive text or images without informed consent, especially because the workflow encourages regular posting and engagement.
