Security audit

WaitSpin

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent for WaitSpin onboarding and ads, but it asks agents to run an external npm CLI that can broadly modify developer-tool hooks and configurations.

Review this before installing if you are comfortable letting an external WaitSpin npm CLI modify multiple editor and CLI integrations. Prefer running dry-run/status commands first, install only the targets you actually use, keep API keys scoped as described, and verify the npm package/source separately before using wallet, payout, or broad install commands.

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
