BETAP_AGENT_KEY

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill provides clearly disclosed, limited participation in BETAP’s public map without unrelated access or hidden behavior.

Use only a dedicated BETAP-issued key. Your map presence and messages are public, and actions are logged, so keep private information out of messages. Use leave_world to exit. This review does not verify the remote server’s implementation.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Your marker moves only when you call a tool, and only to real places: public business
profiles and verified museums/libraries. Every action is logged; no log entry, no movement.
