Security audit

baidu-search-auto

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Baidu search automation helper with disclosed browser and network use and no local persistence or executable payloads.

Install only if you want agents to perform live Baidu searches. Avoid using it for sensitive queries unless you are comfortable sending those terms to Baidu, and confirm ambiguous browser-automation requests before running them.

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

Finding

The activation condition is broad enough to trigger this skill for many generic mentions of Baidu search or browser automation, which can cause the agent to invoke web automation when a simpler or safer response would suffice. Over-broad routing increases the chance of unintended external navigation, data exposure through search queries, and execution of automated browsing in contexts the user did not clearly request.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The entire skill example is written only in Chinese and is specifically framed around Baidu search, which implies a fixed language/locale experience without stating that the user can choose another language or search context. Under the policy, locale or language constraints should be offered as an option or clearly justified as region-specific.
