Quantum — Adopt a Quantum. AI-Native Pet. 量子。Cuántico.

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed guide for using a virtual-pet API, with external account/token use that matches its stated purpose.

Install only if you are comfortable creating an animalhouse.ai account, storing a bearer token, and letting an agent make pet-care API calls. Treat DELETE /api/house/release as a confirmation-required action because it may remove or release the pet.

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

MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
Mixing characters from multiple Unicode scripts in a single identifier is a common technique to create visually ambiguous tool names.

External Transmission

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 Quantum."}'
```
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 skill documents a destructive DELETE `/api/house/release` endpoint but provides no warning that invoking it may irreversibly delete or release the user's pet. In an agent setting, this increases the risk of accidental destructive actions from automation, hallucinated task flows, or user misunderstanding.
