Security audit

Data Analyzer 622b06

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple Chinese-language reference skill for Aspen Energy Analyzer and heat-exchanger-network learning, with no code execution, persistence, credential use, or data access.

Installers should expect a lightweight Chinese-language learning aid, not a full analysis tool. Review or narrow the trigger phrases if accidental activation on generic data-analyzer or chemical-design requests would be annoying.

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
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad and generic, such as matching common domain terms and general requests for help, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended context. This increases the chance of unintended routing, confusing users, and overshadowing more appropriate skills, especially in multilingual or mixed-domain environments.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The merged section repeats similarly vague activation conditions, which compounds the risk of accidental invocation and makes skill-selection behavior less predictable. Duplicate broad triggers can also make maintenance harder and increase collision risk with other skills covering adjacent topics.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding

The description is written entirely in Chinese and the skill content consistently assumes Chinese-language interaction, with no indication that users may choose another language. This can be a language/locale policy issue when a skill effectively enforces a language without opt-in or documented justification.
