Security audit

Baselight data via MCP

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Baselight MCP connector; it uses an external service and credentials as disclosed, with no local code, persistence, or hidden behavior found.

Install this if you intend to use Baselight as an external MCP data service. Review Baselight's account, API-key/OAuth, billing, privacy, and query-limit terms before using it with sensitive questions or data.

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

## When to Use This Skill

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The activation guidance uses very general phrases such as 'User wants datasets for a topic' and 'User wants structured tables,' which could match a wide range of ordinary requests rather than a clearly bounded Baselight-specific context. The file does not provide narrower trigger phrases, exclusions, or negative examples to clarify when this skill should or should not be invoked.
