mention-to-gateway

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is meant for cross-gateway agent messaging, but it lets chat text trigger outbound requests to specified IP addresses without clear trust controls or response provenance.

Install only in an environment where you control the gateways and can enforce trusted destination allowlists, authentication, and user confirmation before forwarding. Users should also keep visible provenance for remote responses instead of making them indistinguishable from local gateway replies.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The trigger definition is overly broad and treats any message matching an @deviceid-agentid-ip pattern as authority to initiate a network request to an arbitrary target IP. In this skill's context, that creates a practical SSRF/proxying primitive and makes accidental or unauthorized cross-gateway command forwarding much more likely.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to send requests to a user-specified IP while embedding the current gateway's internal IP and agent identity in the request metadata. That exposes internal network information to remote endpoints and, combined with arbitrary IP targeting, can be abused for internal reconnaissance, lateral movement support, or data exfiltration to attacker-controlled hosts.
