Security audit

Proposal Engine

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a proposal-writing and sales-process guide with no code execution, persistence, credential access, or hidden data flows.

Installers should expect the skill to influence ordinary proposal, pricing, and opportunity-review requests with its sales methodology. Review business outputs for accuracy, legal terms, pricing assumptions, and client-specific claims before sending them externally.

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
91% confidence
Finding
The quick-start trigger phrases are very broad and map closely to ordinary user requests such as creating a proposal, reviewing a proposal, or helping price a project. This can cause the skill to activate unintentionally in unrelated contexts, leading the agent to apply proposal-engine behavior when the user did not explicitly request this specific skill.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The quick-start trigger phrase "Create a proposal for [client]" is broad and resembles ordinary user requests a general assistant may receive outside the intended skill boundary. This can cause accidental invocation or over-application of the skill, leading the agent to follow proposal-generation behavior in contexts where the user did not explicitly choose this specialized workflow.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The additional quick-start phrases (e.g. scoring an opportunity, pricing a project, reviewing a proposal) are generic business-assistant requests that can overlap with many normal conversations. Because they lack activation constraints, they increase the chance of unintended routing, where the agent applies this skill's sales methodology to unrelated or partially related user intents.
