Photography Mastery

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Markdown photography coaching skill with broad but low-risk activation examples and no evidence of hidden code execution, credential access, persistence, or data exfiltration.

Installers should understand that this skill may activate on broad photography-related phrases, so use explicit wording when you want photography help. It appears suitable as a reference/coaching skill and does not show evidence of hidden system access.

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

Medium

Confidence

Finding

The README suggests very generic trigger phrases like "Build my portfolio" and "Price my photography," which overlap with common user requests and could cause the skill to activate unintentionally in broad conversational contexts. While not directly enabling code execution or data exfiltration, overly broad invocation language can lead to prompt-routing confusion and unintended skill use.

Finding

The trigger phrase "Review my portfolio" is broad natural language that could easily appear in ordinary conversation outside an explicit skill-invocation context. In systems that route skills based on phrase matching, this can cause unintended activation and scope confusion, especially when user content or surrounding prompts mention similar wording.

Vague Triggers

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger "Settings for [genre]" is ambiguous because "genre" is underspecified and the phrase structure is common across many domains, not just photography. This increases the chance that unrelated requests are misrouted into the skill or that adversarial prompt content can intentionally collide with the trigger to steer execution.

Vague Triggers

Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The trigger "Teach me [technique]" is extremely generic and likely to overlap with many unrelated user requests across other skills or core assistant behavior. Such vagueness makes reliable routing difficult and can lead to unintended activation, priority conflicts, or prompt-injection-style abuse through crafted text that mimics activation phrases.
