Security audit

Freelance Income Machine

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill openly aims to automate freelance applications, but it gives live proposal-submission authority without clear approval gates or operating limits.

Review before installing. Use only in dry-run mode unless you are comfortable with the agent submitting real proposals from your freelance accounts, and verify any missing scripts and logging behavior before allowing live platform access.

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

Missing User Warnings

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly includes functionality to auto-submit proposals and write to a local earnings log, but it does not present these as prominent warnings or require clear user acknowledgment. Because the actions are external and state-changing, this omission can lead to unauthorized postings, account misuse, reputational damage, and unexpected local data creation, especially if a user assumes the tool only performs passive gig discovery.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises broad autonomous behavior across multiple freelance platforms without explicit trigger constraints, approval gates, or clear limits on when actions may be taken. In this context, the agent is intended to scrape listings, score opportunities, and potentially submit proposals, so an overly broad activation scope increases the chance of unintended outbound actions, spammy behavior, or operation in contexts the user did not specifically authorize.
