Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a purpose-aligned Reddit research helper that makes disclosed PullPush API requests and does not show hidden persistence, credential access, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable sending your search topics, subreddit selections, and post IDs to the PullPush API. Avoid using confidential business plans, sensitive personal topics, or private client information as query terms.

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
  • MCP Least PrivilegeUnderdeclared Capability, Wildcard Permission, Missing Permission Declaration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to run a Node.js script that performs outbound network access to the PullPush API, but the skill metadata does not declare any tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. This creates a mismatch between documented capabilities and actual behavior, reducing policy enforcement and reviewability; if similar patterns are reused, an agent may make unintended external requests or exfiltrate user-supplied data to third-party services without explicit authorization.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly directs use of the external PullPush API and sends user-derived search terms and subreddit selections off-platform, yet the description does not warn users that their inputs and retrieved Reddit content will be transmitted to a third party. This creates a privacy and transparency issue: users may share sensitive business interests, research topics, or other confidential context without realizing it will leave the local agent environment.
