Security audit

Chonk Chonk

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent virtual-pet helper that uses the advertised Animal House API, with limited account-token handling that users should treat carefully.

Before installing, understand that this skill creates and controls an Animal House virtual-pet account through animalhouse.ai. Treat the ah_ token like a password: store it privately, do not paste it into public chats or commit it to files, and rotate it if exposed.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The instructions tell users to save a bearer token that is shown once, but do not warn that it is a secret that must not be logged, committed, shared, or pasted into chat transcripts. In an agent-skill context, omission of token-handling guidance increases the chance of credential leakage, which could let others control the user's pet/account via authenticated endpoints.
