Creator Watch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Twitter/X creator watchlist and analysis helper, with expected scraping and database import behavior but some broad triggers users should notice.

Before installing, be aware that this skill is meant to scrape public Twitter/X creator content and store imported posts in a database. Use it only where you are comfortable with that collection workflow, rate limits, and any platform or local database policies that apply.

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

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
Several triggers such as 'who should I follow' and 'analyze creator' are broad, conversational phrases that can overlap with normal assistant usage. This raises the risk of misrouting benign requests into a skill that performs collection, scraping, and persistence of social media data without the user realizing that operational actions may follow.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill description mentions management and analysis but does not prominently warn users that it may scrape Twitter/X content and import the results into a database. Without clear disclosure, users may invoke the skill expecting simple recommendations or analysis while unintentionally triggering data collection and storage behavior.
