Security audit

Akita — Adopt an Akita. Dog. 秋田犬。Akita.

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent virtual pet integration, but it tells agents to create recurring authenticated background care without clear approval, duration, or stop controls.

Review before installing if you do not want an agent to run background care tasks. Only allow scheduled care after explicit approval, set a finite duration, store the token securely, and require confirmation before using the release endpoint.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • System PersistenceInstalls backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
  • 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

Missing User Warnings

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill documents a destructive DELETE /api/house/release endpoint but provides no warning that invoking it may be irreversible or result in loss of the user's virtual pet/data. In an agent setting, omission of such guardrails increases the chance of accidental destructive actions, especially if an automated system follows documented endpoints mechanically.
