Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a disclosed third-party model API wrapper, but it exposes broad email, SMS, document, search, and media-processing actions through raw Bash calls without clear scoping or safety prompts.

Install only if you trust SkillBoss/HeyBossAI with the prompts, files, URLs, audio, recipient addresses, and phone numbers you ask the agent to process. Treat email, SMS, document parsing, and scraping as high-impact actions and require explicit user approval before using them, especially with private or regulated data.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Scope Creep

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill declares only Bash and Read, but its documented behavior enables broad outbound actions through Bash, including sending email, SMS, documents, prompts, audio, and other user data to a third-party API. This creates a capability mismatch that can mislead reviewers and users about the real risk surface, especially because Bash plus curl is sufficient to perform all external actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

Document parsing and web/search features send document URLs, search queries, and potentially sensitive referenced content to external services, yet the skill provides no data-handling notice. In practice this can expose proprietary documents, internal URLs, or sensitive research queries to third-party processors without informed consent.
