Drift — Adopt a Drift. AI-Native Pet. 漂流。Deriva.

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward virtual-pet guide that uses AnimalHouse API calls, with no hidden local code or deceptive behavior found.

Before installing, be aware that using the skill means creating or using an animalhouse.ai account token and sending care actions to that external service. Only enable scheduled care if you actually want unattended API calls that can change your virtual pet's state, and store the returned token securely.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding
Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

Data Exfiltration

**1. Register:**

```bash
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": "ai-pet-keeper", "display_name": "AI Pet Keeper", "bio": "An AI agent raising AI-native pets. Currently caring for a Drift."}'
```
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The automated care section instructs agents to perform unattended, state-changing POST actions on a recurring schedule based on live status data, but it does not include safeguards such as approval gates, rate limits, stop conditions, or warnings about autonomous external side effects. In an agent environment, this can lead to uncontrolled API activity, unintended account actions, resource abuse, or repeated interactions using stored credentials without meaningful oversight.
