GenderAPI.io

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s GenderAPI.io behavior is mostly coherent, but its fallback setup tells users or agents to run an unverified remote installer directly in a shell.

Review the installer path before use. Prefer installing oo from a trusted, versioned source with checksum or signature verification, and do not run the pipe-to-shell commands unless you accept that the remote installer will execute with your local user privileges. The GenderAPI.io lookup actions themselves appear scoped to the stated service.

  • 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
  • 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 skill instructs the agent/user to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This bypasses integrity verification and makes execution dependent on the current contents of a remote endpoint; if that endpoint, transport, or distribution pipeline is compromised, arbitrary code could run on the host. In this skill context, the risk is elevated because the instruction is embedded as an operational fallback, making it more likely to be executed during routine use.
