Lobster Farmer Feeder

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small, disclosed helper for a local Lobster Farmer game CLI and does not show hidden data access, persistence, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you use the Lobster Farmer local CLI and are comfortable with the agent checking status, starting the local service, and running feed commands you request. Review the model and token values before batch-feeding because they mutate local game state.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Finding

Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
87% confidence
Finding

The manifest description says to use this skill when the user asks to 'feed a lobster,' 'simulate model usage,' or 'update growth state and emotion,' which are fairly broad natural-language triggers. It does not provide negative examples or narrower activation boundaries, increasing the chance of unintended invocation from ordinary conversational requests.
