Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward RunAPI/OpenAI-compatible GPT usage guide with disclosed remote API use and no executable code, persistence, or hidden local access.

Install this only if you intend to use RunAPI as the backend for GPT-style requests. Treat prompts, attachments, tool inputs, and metadata as data sent to a third-party API, and avoid sending secrets or regulated content unless your organization permits it.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill instructs users to send prompts and other inputs to a third-party remote API using an API key, but it does not explicitly warn that prompts, uploaded content, and metadata leave the local environment. This can lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive data, especially because the skill is framed as a general-purpose GPT interface that users may apply to arbitrary internal content.
