Box Automation

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Box automation guide, but users should be careful with delete and sharing actions because they can affect cloud files and access permissions.

Install only if you intend to let the agent operate on your Box account through Rube. Before deleting, permanently removing, sharing, or changing collaborator roles, verify the item ID, target user or link scope, and permission level; prefer reversible actions such as moving to trash unless you clearly want permanent deletion.

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

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill documents delete and permanent removal capabilities but does not instruct the agent to obtain explicit user confirmation or warn about irreversible/destructive effects. In an automation context, that omission increases the chance of accidental data loss, especially because the skill presents deletion flows as standard operations and includes permanent removal guidance.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding
The sharing and collaboration section explains how to grant access and create shared links but omits warnings about confidentiality, over-sharing, and integrity risks from changing permissions or collaborator roles. Because these actions can expose sensitive files or broaden write access, the missing safeguards can lead to unintended disclosure or unauthorized modification.
