China Renewable Energy Sourcing
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a static China renewable-energy sourcing reference with simple local data lookup code and no evidence of hidden access, persistence, or exfiltration.
This appears safe to install as a reference skill. Treat its industry figures and 2026 projections as informational sourcing guidance and verify important purchasing, compliance, and supplier claims with current primary sources before making business decisions.
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

- Finding
This markdown file falls under the vague-trigger category. The phrase 'You can interact with this skill using natural language' is open-ended and does not explain when the skill should or should not activate beyond a few examples, which can lead to unintended invocation from related everyday requests about China, sourcing, or energy.

- Confidence

- Finding
The natural-language title and summary are explicitly scoped to China, presenting the content as a fixed locale/country context. Under the stated policy, locale constraints can be a concern when they are imposed without offering user choice or documenting why the restriction is necessary for the skill.
