deso-research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed decentralized-social research helper, but users should understand it installs and runs an external npm CLI that may use optional social-network credentials.

Install only if you are comfortable trusting the deso-ag npm package. Prefer scoped or revocable API credentials, avoid exposing unrelated environment secrets when running it, and review the package/version before global installation.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The trigger guidance is overly expansive, including generic phrases like "check Farcaster" and directives to use this skill for any decentralized social research task. In an agentic system, broad matching can cause unintended invocation, exposing external-network content retrieval when a narrower or different tool would have been more appropriate and increasing the chance of contextually incorrect or privacy-impacting actions.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

This markdown file documents authentication requirements including NEYNAR_API_KEY, BLUESKY_IDENTIFIER, and BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD, but it does not include any warning about securely storing credentials, avoiding accidental disclosure, or the privacy impact of querying third-party networks. Under the markdown-specific warning rule, credential-related behavior that can affect privacy or system integrity should be disclosed to users.
