Skillboss

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent API helper, but it includes live email and SMS-sending capabilities without clear confirmation or safety guidance.

Install only if you intend to use SkillBoss as a third-party cloud gateway. Avoid sending secrets, regulated data, private documents, or personal phone/email data unless you have authorization, and require explicit confirmation before any email, SMS, or batch notification action.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill heavily documents sending prompts, audio, images, documents, search queries, email content, and phone numbers to a third-party API and downstream model providers, but it does not warn users that their data leaves the local environment. In an agent setting, this can cause unintended disclosure of sensitive or regulated data because the broad examples normalize remote transmission without consent or data classification guidance.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The email example enables an agent to send real outbound messages but provides no warning that this causes external side effects. Without an explicit caution and confirmation step, an agent or user may unintentionally send messages to real recipients, leading to privacy leaks, spam, or business-process abuse.

Finding

This documented URL triggers an email-sending action with real external effects, which is more dangerous than passive retrieval or processing endpoints. In agent use, exposing a live-send endpoint without accompanying safeguards can lead to accidental or unauthorized outbound communications.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The SMS verification examples interact with real phone numbers and can trigger OTP delivery, yet they omit any warning about charges, user consent, and real-world side effects. In agent workflows, this can result in harassment, cost generation, or misuse of verification flows against unintended targets.
