Public IP Watch

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently checks the machine's public IP and stores a small local cache so it can report changes.

Before installing, understand that using this skill will query ip.sb or ipinfo.io to learn your public IP and will keep the latest IP and timestamp in ~/.public_ip_cache.json so future runs can detect changes.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to send the host's public IP to third-party services (ip.sb, ipinfo.io) and to persist the result in a local cache file, but it does not clearly disclose either behavior to the user at execution time. This creates a privacy and transparency issue: public IP addresses can be sensitive operational metadata, and silent local state writes can surprise users or violate expectations in automated environments.
