Security audit

Talos Lite — Social Calendar (Free)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mostly does what it says, but its install instructions can modify the system Python environment and its normal output pushes a paid external upgrade skill.

Review this skill before installing. The calendar generation itself is simple, but run the dependency install only in an isolated virtual environment, and treat the talos-pro install command and Ko-fi links as separate commercial actions outside this reviewed Lite skill.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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
