WoW Lookup

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a disclosed World of Warcraft lookup CLI skill, with manageable risks around optional plaintext API credentials and a global CLI symlink install.

Before installing, verify what /usr/local/bin/wow will point to because the reviewed artifact did not include the wow executable. If you use Blizzard or Warcraft Logs credentials, prefer environment variables when practical; if you create ~/.config/wow/config.env, keep it out of backups and dotfile sync and restrict permissions such as chmod 600.

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

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

The skill directs users to create a persistent session/config file in ~/.config/wow/config.env for storing API credentials. Persistent local storage of secrets increases exposure duration and attack surface, especially on multi-user systems or where home directories are backed up, synchronized, or readable by other processes.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The documentation instructs users to place API client secrets in a persistent plaintext config file under their home directory, but it does not warn about file permissions, secret exposure, or safer secret-handling practices. While common in CLI tooling, this can lead to accidental disclosure through backups, dotfile syncing, shared accounts, or overly permissive filesystem permissions.
