Amplitude Automation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Amplitude automation guide, but it enables sensitive analytics access and production data changes without enough safeguards or user-control guidance.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the agent access to your Amplitude workspace through Rube. Before using it, confirm the target project and environment, use least-privilege Amplitude credentials, avoid unnecessary user activity queries, and require explicit review before sending production events, changing user properties, or modifying cohorts.

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

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill describes sending events and updating cohort membership, both of which can materially alter analytics datasets, downstream reporting, and user segmentation, but it does not warn about the integrity or privacy implications of these actions. In practice, this omission can lead to accidental poisoning of analytics, unauthorized segmentation changes, or operational mistakes by an agent acting without human review.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly enables retrieval of user activity and updating of user properties, which can expose behavioral analytics data and modify user profiles without any guidance on authorization, minimization, or handling of sensitive data. In an automation context, missing safety boundaries increases the risk of privacy violations, over-collection, or unauthorized profile changes if an agent follows the workflow blindly.
