Security audit

Nature-Style Academic Writer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain academic editing skill with no code execution or data access; users should just review any automatic translation or style changes for accuracy.

Install this when you want academic prose edited toward an English Nature-style standard. For non-English, confidential, or citation-sensitive material, ask the agent to preserve the source language or show the translation separately before applying style edits.

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

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Finding

The instruction to automatically translate multilingual input into English first removes user choice and may alter meaning, tone, citations, or sensitive content before refinement. This is risky in academic contexts because translation can introduce inaccuracies or confidentiality concerns, especially when users may have intended editing in the original language or did not consent to translation.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are generic writing-assistance requests that overlap heavily with ordinary user prompts, which increases the chance of accidental or overly broad invocation. In a skill-selection system, this can route unrelated academic-editing content through this skill without clear user intent, causing inappropriate transformations or unexpected handling of user text.
