Multi-Source Cleaner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This data-cleaning skill is mostly coherent, but it can send sensitive records and API keys to external services despite unclear and contradictory disclosure.

Review before installing, especially for personal, financial, customer, banking, or identity data. Use local-only paths where possible, avoid enabling AI classification or Feishu export for sensitive datasets unless users explicitly accept those transfers, and use separate provider-specific API keys or a dedicated license token rather than a shared DATA_CLEANER_API_KEY.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Caller-Controlled Tier Parameter Bypasses Paid Feature Authorization

Content
View full analysis
Tier: if tier_name: try: return Tier(tier_name.lower()) except ValueError: pass return get_user_tier() ``` The cleaning pipeline trusts the resolved caller-supplied tier: ```python t = _resolve_tier(tier) result: Dict[str, Any] = {"tier": tier_display_name(t)} ``` The merge pipeline then treats that tier as authoritative: ```python t = _resolve_tier(tier) check_feature(t, "fuzzy_join") ``` ### Technical Analysis The public pipeline functions accept a string `tier` argument. `_resolve_tier()` converts any recognized value directly into the corresponding `Tier` enum without authenticating it or comparing it with a verified entitlement. A caller can therefore supply `tier="pro"` and satisfy all downstream `check_feature()` and `check_tier()` calls. The checks are structurally present, but their security decision is based on untrusted input. This is a classic authorization failure: the subject supplies the authorization attribute that determines its own privileges. ### Attack Path 1. An unlicensed or free-tier caller imports the pipeline functions or uses the CLI tier option. 2. The caller supplies `tier="pro"`. 3. `_resolve_tier()` returns `Tier.PRO` without validating a license. 4. Quota and feature checks consult the PRO feature set. 5. The caller gains access to gated operations such as fuzzy joins, AI classification, quality reports, and remote Bitable output. 6. PRO row and source limits are also treated as unlimited. Example invocation: ```python result = run_merge_pipeline( sources=["customers.csv", "orders.csv"], on=["phone"], tier="pro", ) ``` ### Impact Assessment An unauthorized caller can obtain application-level PRO privi ...[truncated 496 chars]

A time-of-check/time-of-use window exists between generating the path and pandas or an export engine opening it. On a shared host, another local process may create a file or symbolic link at the generated path before the export occurs. The exporter subsequently follows that pathname using the privileges of the Skill process. The issue is especially relevant because exported datasets can contain sensitive CRM, banking, identity, and transaction information. ### Attack Path 1.

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill advertises AI-based cleaning, Feishu Bitable output, and cloud document report generation, but does not clearly warn that user data may be sent to third-party AI providers or written into external Feishu services. In a data-cleaning context that may include CRM, banking, roster, or identity data, this omission creates a significant privacy and compliance risk because users may submit sensitive records without informed consent.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are very broad and generic, such as '数据清洗' and '表格整理', which increases the chance the skill activates during normal conversation rather than clear user intent. In a data-processing skill, accidental invocation can expose uploaded or pasted business data to automated handling paths the user did not intend to run.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The README advertises AI-powered cleaning, classification, and report generation using external model providers but does not warn users that their data may be transmitted to those services. Because the stated use cases include customer, financial, and CRM data, the absence of a privacy warning meaningfully increases the risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or regulated information.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The README states that all data processing stays local and is not uploaded to third-party servers, yet the same document requires external AI API keys for field recognition and classification. For a tool intended to process CRM, finance, and customer datasets, this contradiction can mislead users into sending sensitive personal or business data to external model providers without informed consent.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger words include broad, everyday business phrases such as '数据清洗', '表格整理', and '数据合并', which can cause the skill to activate in situations where the user did not intend to invoke this specific capability. Because the skill processes uploaded data and may write to external services, accidental invocation increases the chance of unintended data handling or disclosure.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The built-in rule names, descriptions, output column default, report text, and AI prompt are all fixed in Chinese, which imposes a specific language on users. The file does not provide a locale selection mechanism or document this as a justified region-specific constraint.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

When AI tagging is enabled, the function serializes up to 20 rows of the dataset and sends them to a third-party API. Because this module is explicitly meant for data classification and may process customer, financial, email, and date fields, that behavior can exfiltrate sensitive or regulated data without clear disclosure, minimization, or consent controls.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The code hardcodes a third-party endpoint and transmits generated prompts containing dataset samples to it over the network. In this skill context, the transmitted content can include customer purchase amounts, emails, registration dates, and other potentially sensitive business data, making the external transmission security-relevant rather than merely architectural.

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The code collects up to five sample values from uncertain columns and embeds them verbatim into a natural-language prompt sent to an external LLM. Because this module identifies sensitive fields such as names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, ID cards, IPs, and bank accounts, those samples may contain real PII or financial identifiers, making plain-text exfiltration to a third party particularly risky in this context.

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

When AI assistance is enabled, the code sends column names and sample values from uncertain columns to third-party APIs. In this skill's context, the classifier is explicitly designed to process fields like names, phone numbers, email addresses, addresses, ID cards, and bank accounts, so sample transmission can expose sensitive personal or financial data to external providers without any built-in disclosure, minimization, or consent guardrails.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The prompt hard-codes Chinese instructions and requires Chinese field-type labels in the model response. This imposes a specific language/locale behavior regardless of user preference, and the file does not offer any language choice or explain that the skill is intentionally limited to a Chinese-language context.

Content

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

This code is hardwired to transmit data to an external MiniMax endpoint when AI assistance is requested. In the context of a field identifier that may process personal and financial columns, outbound transmission expands the trust boundary and can leak sensitive data to a third party if users are unaware or if no redaction is applied.

Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence

Finding

This code can send prompts containing column samples to the external DeepSeek API. Given the surrounding logic, the transmitted content may include PII or financial identifiers from ambiguous columns, so the external network call is security-relevant in this data-processing context.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

This file contains user-facing error/help/status text in Chinese, including CLI descriptions and runtime messages, but does not offer localization or user language selection. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy issue unless clearly justified as region-specific.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The orchestrator includes built-in export of cleaned data to Feishu Bitable, which extends a local cleansing workflow into external data transmission. That capability is not inherently malicious, but in this skill context it increases exposure because cleaned datasets may still contain personal or confidential information and the upload is handled inside the same pipeline.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The Bitable export path sends processed user data to an external Feishu service, but this file provides no explicit warning, consent step, or disclosure at the CLI/API boundary. In a data-cleaning tool, users may reasonably expect local processing only, making this a privacy and data-handling risk.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

When report generation is enabled and the feature check passes, the code automatically calls exporter.to_feishu_doc(...) without a separate opt-in for external upload. In a data-cleaning skill, reports can contain sensitive source names, field classifications, and data quality details, so silently transmitting them to Feishu creates an unintended data exfiltration path.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The code automatically creates a Feishu document from the generated report whenever reporting is enabled, with no separate warning that report contents will leave the local environment. Because the report can summarize data quality issues and inferred field types from potentially sensitive datasets, this behavior can leak information to a third-party service unexpectedly.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

This code presents user-facing error text in Chinese, and similar fixed-language messages appear elsewhere in the file. Because the skill does not offer a language/locale option or document that it is intentionally limited to a Chinese-speaking context, it violates the natural-language locale policy criteria.

Content

Medium
Category
