Pilot Service Agents Health

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a public health data helper with some catalog-scope inconsistencies, but no hidden code, credential access, persistence, or destructive behavior was found.

Install only if you are comfortable using Pilot Protocol service agents for public data queries. Prefer /help and fresh list-agents discovery before sending requests, and avoid using this skill for private health records, medical advice, or food/exercise/tides tasks unless you intentionally choose those listed agents.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The file explicitly says not to use this skill for nutrition or food-product data, yet the catalogue advertises openfda-food-recall, which directly handles food-product recall information. This contradiction can cause policy bypass through documentation confusion, leading agents or users to invoke prohibited functionality despite the stated restriction.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill metadata and description scope this capability to public-health and biomedical APIs, but the embedded catalogue includes clearly out-of-scope services such as NOAA tides, exercise data, and food recall data. This mismatch can mislead downstream agents into invoking unrelated services under a trusted health label, weakening policy boundaries and enabling accidental data access or unsafe task routing.
