Firecrawl Wrapper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Firecrawl API wrapper for web search, scraping, crawling, interaction, and extraction, with no hidden persistence or unrelated local access found.

Install only if you are comfortable sending requested URLs, search terms, page content, and interaction or extraction instructions to Firecrawl. Avoid sensitive or confidential sites, and be especially careful with interact commands because they can perform actions like clicking, filling forms, logging in, or downloading files after confirmation. Expect Chinese output and Firecrawl branding unless the skill is updated.

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

Undeclared Tool Scope

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The skill clearly describes capabilities that send user-provided queries, URLs, page content, and interaction instructions to an external API, yet it declares no explicit tool scope or permission metadata. This creates a transparency and governance gap: the agent may be allowed to perform networked data exfiltration or use environment-based credentials without the user or platform having a clear, enforceable declaration of those powers.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill instructions and all required response templates are written as mandatory Chinese output, including fixed warning and guidance text. There is no indication that the user can choose another language or that the Chinese-only behavior is required for a region-specific purpose, which violates the language/locale policy criterion.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

This code emits user-facing warning text in Chinese, and similar Chinese-only messages appear throughout the CLI commands. Because the file does not offer a user language/locale choice or state that the skill is intentionally limited to Chinese-speaking users, it violates the natural-language policy constraint against forcing a specific language without opt-in.
