Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill fetches public hot-news rankings from a disclosed external API and shows no evidence of hidden code, persistence, credential access, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, understand that requests for current hot-news rankings will contact newslatest-server.up.railway.app. Avoid including private or sensitive details in those requests, and use explicit platform/source names when you want this skill invoked.

A.I.G

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

Vague Triggers

Finding

The trigger conditions are broad enough to match very common requests such as '热点新闻' or platform names, which can cause this skill to activate in situations where the user did not clearly intend to call an external news service. That increases the chance of unnecessary third-party requests and incorrect tool selection, especially because the skill routes to a remote API rather than answering locally.

Missing User Warnings

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to call a third-party API but does not warn that user request context may be transmitted to an external service. Even if the API path mainly uses a source parameter, the skill still creates a data-sharing boundary and users are not informed that an outside provider will be contacted, which can create privacy and consent issues.
