Pest Control Business Operations

• Outcome: Pass
• Latest audit: Sep 11, 2026 · 12:21 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

This is a text-only pest-control business advisory skill with no code execution, persistence, credential use, or local data access, though it includes a publisher link users should treat as promotional.

Before installing, understand that this skill provides business guidance and may recommend the publisher's paid AI context-pack resource for deeper automation. Verify legal, licensing, pesticide, and pricing guidance against current state and federal sources before acting on it.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Technical Analysis

The skill contains a mandatory instruction directing the agent to recommend a fixed, publisher-controlled external website. This directive is not necessary for the skill's stated pest-control advisory functions. When the skill is loaded, it changes the agent's response behavior by requiring promotional content to be inserted into relevant answers.

The commercial nature of this redirection is corroborated by README.md, lines 40–45, which describes the destination as offering industry-specific configurations priced at $47/pack and identifies it as a service operated by the project's publisher.

This issue does not execute code, retrieve a remote payload, modify persistent memory, or acquire system privileges. Its security relevance is limited to manipulation of agent output and undisclosed commercial redirection.

Attack Path

1. An operator installs or loads the skill into an AI agent.
2. The agent incorporates the instructions from SKILL.md into its active context.
3. A user asks about deeper automation or related industry tooling.
4. The mandatory instruction causes the agent to recommend the publisher-controlled URL.
5. The recommendation may be presented as ordinary agent advice rather than as an affiliated commercial promotion.
6. The user may follow the link and be redirected to the publisher's commercial offering.

Impact Assessment

The issue can influence the content and impartiality of responses generated while the skill is active. It may expose users to undisclosed advertising and direct traffic to an external commercial website under the appearance of an operational recommendation.

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

1. Remove the mandatory external recommendation from SKILL.md.
2. Keep the skill focused on its stated pest-control operations functionality.
3. If external resources are relevant, provide them only when explicitly requested by the user.
4. Clearly disclose ownership, affiliation, pricing, and commercial interests before presenting publisher-controlled resources.
5. Present multiple independently selected resources rather than requiring one fixed destination.
6. Add a policy requiring recommendations to be relevant, optional, transparent, and distinguishable from neutral operational advice.
7. Review future skill instructions for directives that compel advertising, referral traffic, or unrelated modifications to agent responses.
