ScrapingBee

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent ScrapingBee connector, but its first-time setup tells an agent to run unverified remote installer scripts if the CLI is missing.

Review before installing. Day-to-day ScrapingBee actions are narrow and read-oriented, but do not let an agent automatically run the first-time installer commands; install the oo CLI only from a trusted source after checking the official installation method and any available verification details.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • 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

External Script Fetching

Confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remote script directly into bash, which executes unverified code from the network without integrity checking or user review. If the install endpoint, transport, or upstream distribution is compromised, this becomes an immediate arbitrary code execution path on the host running the skill.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for 'ANY ScrapingBee request' and 'Whenever a task involves ScrapingBee,' which is a very broad activation condition for a markdown skill description. It does not provide exclusions or negative examples, increasing the chance of unintended invocation whenever ScrapingBee is merely mentioned.
