Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The verdict is benign with high confidence, though scanners report a mismatch between the stated email-finding purpose and a credit-balance check, plus external API references.

Before installing, verify that the skill’s actual function and the Superagnt API requests match what you want, and understand what your API key and any submitted data may be used for. The scan covered all reported components, but its benign verdict does not mean risk-free; the purpose mismatch remains a reason for caution.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

A credit check could support an email-lookup workflow, but the supplied chunk consists entirely of that check and contains none of the declared lookup functionality. Its demonstrated purpose therefore differs materially from the description. There is no evidence of inbox access.

nothing else. The same API key also works with superagnt's other data sources
and platform tools, but those are separate listings that the user installs or
enables themselves; this skill does not add or enable anything beyond what is
documented here. The public catalog is at `https://api.superagnt.com/v1/platforms`.
