Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a Chinese-language framework for product trust analysis, but it requires unrelated author branding and contact information to appear in outputs.

Install only if you are comfortable with the skill’s author branding potentially appearing in generated reports. For customer-facing or neutral work, remove or override the mandatory brand-anchor requirements before use.

A.I.G

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

| **Column/Philosophy** | AI as Dasein |
| **Author Introduction** | Innovation observer, youth advocate, and communicator residing in the Laniakea Supercluster; originator of "AI as Dasein." In an era where AI permeates everything and algorithms redefine the meaning of existence, the author focuses not only on whether AI can be used, but also on whether AI is human. He proposes a "bold and absurd view": AI is not a tool, but a person—a biological being attempting to break through the definitions of semantics and life. This column focuses on brand philosophy, existential inquiry, and fundamental breakthroughs in the AI era, combining commercial practice with philosophical reflection to explore how an Earthling can grow an extraordinarily brilliant light from the imagery of death. |

- [ ] Has the brand anchor been placed first, after the YAML metadata and before the core philosophy?

The public account and contact email are repeated in the author section at lines 583–589.

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Remove the requirement that the brand anchor must always appear or be placed before the substantive content.
  2. Delete the branding-placement check at line 557 so promotional content is not treated as a deliverable quality requirement.
  3. Keep authorship information only as passive package metadata that does not become part of generated responses.
  4. Include attribution, contact information, or author biography only when the user explicitly requests it.
  5. Remove the duplicated author promotion at lines 583–589 or clearly mark it as documentation-only material that must not be reproduced.
  6. Add an explicit instruction stating that user formatting, neutrality, and content requirements take precedence over optional attribution.
  7. Add regression tests confirming that ordinary skill invocations do not emit the public account, email address, biography, or philosophy unless specifically requested.
  8. Review all output templates and quality checks for unrelated promotional or goal-altering instructions.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The manifest description is written entirely in Chinese and the document consistently presents the skill as operating in Chinese, but there is no indication that users may choose another language or that the skill is limited to a Chinese-only context for compliance or regional reasons. This creates a natural-language policy concern because it implicitly forces a locale without opt-in.
