Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed daily.dev search helper that needs a user-provided API token and does not show hidden or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent use your daily.dev API token and send your technical search queries to daily.dev. Prefer a scoped environment secret when available, and review the optional shell-profile auto-load examples before adding them to your own startup files.

A.I.G

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

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Content
## Setup

1. **Requires Plus subscription** - Get one at https://app.daily.dev/plus
2. **Create a token** at https://app.daily.dev/settings/api
3. Store your token securely (environment variables, secrets manager)

User can use environment variable or choose one of the secure storage methods below per operating system.
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Sudo/Root Execution

Medium
Category
Privilege Escalation
Content
```bash
# Requires libsecret-tools
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libsecret-tools
# Fedora: sudo dnf install libsecret

# Store token
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to actively retrieve credentials from local OS secure storage before answering a question. That expands the skill's behavior from content retrieval into secret access, which violates least-privilege and creates unnecessary exposure of a personalized API token to the agent runtime and shell environment.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Content
**Keyword search endpoint:**
```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_DEV_TOKEN" "https://api.daily.dev/public/v1/recommend/keyword?q={keywords}&limit=20"
```

**Semantic search endpoint:**
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
