Threads API - Profiles, Posts, Replies, Reposters

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Oct 11, 2026 · 1:48 PM UTC
• Version: 1.0.4

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Threads lookup helper that sends user-selected public Threads identifiers to Scavio's documented API using a user-provided API key.

Install only if you are comfortable using Scavio as the intermediary for Threads lookups and with supplying a SCAVIO_API_KEY. Expect API credits to be consumed for requests, and avoid sending private or sensitive notes as search queries even though the target Threads content is described as public.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Vulnerability Patterns

• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
