Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a broad third-party API gateway that is mostly disclosed, but it includes sensitive data processing plus outbound email and SMS actions without clear user confirmation or privacy controls.

Review this skill carefully before installing. Use it only if you trust SkillBoss/HeyBossAI with the prompts, documents, audio, images, phone numbers, and messages you provide, and require explicit user approval before sending any email, SMS, OTP, or sensitive file/audio/document request.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding
The skill includes email sending and SMS verification capabilities that can contact external recipients, but it provides no safety warning, consent requirement, or confirmation step. This is dangerous because an agent could be induced to send messages or OTP workflows to unintended targets, causing spam, phishing, privacy violations, or operational abuse.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises broad use of external AI, search, document, email, and SMS services but does not warn that prompts, documents, audio, phone numbers, and other user data will be transmitted to a third-party API and potentially onward to multiple providers. This creates meaningful privacy, compliance, and consent risk because users may unknowingly send sensitive data off-platform.

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
Chat completions send user messages and optional system prompts to external providers, which can include sensitive text or business information. Because the skill encourages direct use without prominent warnings, users may unintentionally disclose confidential content.

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
This duplicate URL-level finding maps to the image-generation API call, which sends prompts externally and can expose sensitive content. In context, the lack of user-facing disclosure makes the transmission meaningfully risky.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "mm/img", "inputs": {"prompt": "A sunset over mountains"}}' \
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The save-to-file flow first sends a prompt externally and then downloads a returned URL, creating both outbound disclosure and follow-up retrieval from remote content. This increases exposure because user content leaves the environment and untrusted remote resources may then be fetched.

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
This duplicate URL-level finding corresponds to the video-generation API call that transmits prompt content externally. The transmission is expected functionality, but still a real privacy/security concern without consent and warning mechanisms.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The image-to-video example sends both prompt text and a source image URL to a third-party provider, potentially exposing personal or proprietary imagery. That makes this more sensitive than a plain metadata query and warrants stronger safeguards.

Finding
This URL-level finding maps to the TTS request, which transmits user text to an external provider. The capability is legitimate, but absent disclosure it creates accidental data-sharing risk.

Finding
This duplicate URL-level finding corresponds to the STT request that uploads audio externally for transcription. Audio can contain highly sensitive information, so the missing warning and consent controls make the issue material.

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
Document-processing requests send document URLs to an external parser/extractor, potentially exposing contracts, internal reports, or personal records. This is particularly sensitive because documents often contain dense confidential data and the skill gives no corresponding caution.

Finding
This duplicate URL-level finding maps to external web search/scraping, which can leak sensitive investigative queries or business context. The risk is moderate and stems from undisclosed third-party processing rather than hidden malicious behavior.
