Creator Watch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Twitter/X creator research workflow that may scrape public content and update a local database, but the behavior matches its stated purpose.

Before installing, understand that using the scrape or update commands may contact Twitter/X, hit rate limits, and write records into a local database. Use it only with scripts and credentials you trust, and confirm scope before batch scraping.

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes very broad phrases such as 'who should I follow' and 'analyze creator,' which can match ordinary conversation and cause the skill to activate outside the user's intended context. Because this skill can initiate scraping, imports, and analysis workflows, accidental invocation can lead to unintended external requests or local data changes.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises scraping Twitter/X content and importing results into a database without an upfront warning that these actions may generate network traffic, consume resources, hit rate limits, or modify stored data. In an agent environment, users may invoke the skill expecting simple advice but instead trigger actions with operational and compliance consequences.
