Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill fetches Chinese hotspot news from a single disclosed API and only creates a scheduled task after user approval.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill contacting hotspot.api4claw.com when invoked. Review the optional cron command before approving it, especially the timezone, channel, recipient, and schedule; leave cron disabled if you only want manual hotspot lookups.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrase "热点" is extremely broad and likely to appear in ordinary conversation unrelated to this skill, increasing the chance of unintended activation. Unintended invocation can cause unsolicited network requests and, in this skill, repeated prompting toward cron setup, which creates avoidable side effects and user confusion.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The file instructs the skill to default scheduled prompts and execution timing to Asia/Shanghai and uses Chinese-only user-facing phrasing, but it does not offer opt-in or a locale selection path. Under the policy, forcing a specific language or locale without user choice can be a natural-language policy violation unless clearly justified as region-specific.
