Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a recruiting helper, but it gives an agent broad latitude to process, score, research, and track candidates without enough privacy, retention, or human-review guardrails.

Review this before installing for any real hiring process. Use it only with approved recruiting data, keep candidate records in your authorized HR or ATS system, require human review before rejecting or advancing candidates, avoid protected-characteristic inferences, and define deletion or retention rules for resumes and notes.

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
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding
The skill explicitly enables autonomous parsing, tracking, and research of candidate information, which commonly includes resumes, compensation expectations, interview notes, and other sensitive personal data, but it provides no privacy notice, data-handling constraints, retention limits, or consent requirements. In a recruiting context this is especially risky because hiring workflows routinely process regulated or sensitive personal information, so an agent could over-collect, persist, or expose candidate data without appropriate safeguards.
