Security audit
PANews Web Viewer
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a narrow helper for reading public PANews pages as Markdown and does not show hidden, privileged, or destructive behavior.
Before installing, be aware that the skill may make direct web requests to PANews when a PANews page-reading task is invoked. It is appropriate for public page reads, not for authenticated accounts, private data, write actions, broad crawling, or structured API search workflows.
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
- Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
- Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
- Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
- Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
- Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
