Security audit

Annual Report Generator

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a transparent report-writing guide that asks for expected business metrics and does not include code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden behavior.

Use this only with company data approved for AI processing. Prefer aggregated or anonymized figures where possible, and avoid sharing secrets, personal employee/customer details, regulated data, or confidential material that is not needed for the report.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The trigger phrase "Generate our annual report" is generic enough to overlap with common user requests, which can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly in broader contexts. Because the skill solicits and processes detailed financial, customer, and staffing information, accidental invocation increases the chance of unnecessary exposure or handling of sensitive business data.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence

Finding

The skill explicitly asks for revenue, expenses, customer metrics, headcount, and strategic milestones, all of which are sensitive business information, but provides no warning or handling guidance. Without a privacy notice or minimization guidance, users may share confidential internal data more freely than intended, increasing the risk of over-disclosure to the agent or connected systems.
