Security audit

Ptt BBS

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent PTT scraper, but it should be reviewed because its article fetcher can contact arbitrary HTTP URLs despite being presented as PTT-only.

Review before installing. Use it only for public PTT scraping, avoid passing non-ptt.cc URLs to the article command, and be cautious about redistributing raw comments, usernames, timestamps, or copied article text.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill description is triggered by very broad PTT-related mentions, including cases where the user may only be discussing PTT conceptually rather than requesting scraping. Overbroad activation can cause the agent to inappropriately invoke web-scraping behavior, increasing the chance of unnecessary data collection, policy bypass around user intent, or surprise retrieval of third-party content.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to reproduce scraped article metadata and push comments verbatim by default, without requiring user opt-in or minimizing copied content. This increases the risk of unnecessary disclosure of third-party text, usernames, timestamps, and other scraped material, and can facilitate privacy, copyright, or platform-policy violations at scale.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The article command accepts any full URL beginning with "http" and passes it directly into requests, so the script can be used to contact arbitrary hosts rather than only ptt.cc. In an agent or tool-execution context, this becomes an SSRF-style capability that may reach internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or other unintended destinations, even though the script is presented as a PTT scraper.
