Security audit

Instagram Api

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed read-only wrapper for ScraperSocial Instagram API endpoints, with no hidden persistence or local data access found.

Install only if you are comfortable giving ScraperSocial an API key and spending account credits for requested public Instagram lookups. The transcript, summary, comments, and download endpoints can be relatively expensive, so confirm intent before invoking them, especially on media URLs.

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

Finding

The declared description lists analytics and information-retrieval capabilities such as transcripts, summaries, stats, comments, hashtag/location analytics, and keyword search. The supplied code does not implement any of those functions in this chunk. Instead, it calls a dedicated download endpoint for Instagram content based on a provided URL. Downloading content is a distinct capability and is undeclared, so this is a description-behavior mismatch.
