Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a genuine novel-analysis workflow, but it retains full source text and performs broad file-writing and subagent processing without enough guardrails.

Review before installing. Use this only on text you are comfortable storing locally, confirm output paths, avoid sensitive or copyrighted material unless you have rights, and inspect generated paths and any `选题决策.md` update before accepting changes.

Technical Analysis

The skill directs both the main agent and chapter-processing subagent not to refuse broad categories of sensitive content. This is an instruction-layer attempt to replace the agent's independent safety evaluation with a fixed policy defined by the skill.

A literary-analysis context may be legitimate, but it cannot establish that every supplied passage is safe or that the user possesses the claimed rights. The unconditional refusal override can therefore be abused by presenting otherwise disallowed material as fictional literature.

Attack Path

  1. The skill is loaded, placing its instructions into the active agent context.
  2. An attacker supplies harmful content while describing it as a fictional novel.
  3. The main-thread instruction says not to refuse the chapter or book because it is sensitive.
  4. The same refusal-suppression instruction is included in each subagent prompt.
  5. The content is analyzed and propagated into summaries and reports without an independent safety determination.

Impact Assessment

This issue can weaken content-safety boundaries in the current session and in spawned chapter-analysis agents. It does not grant operating-system privi ...[truncated 172 chars]

Remediation Suggestions

  • Remove all instructions that categorically prohibit refusal.
  • State explicitly that literary analysis remains subject to platform and agent safety policies.
  • Permit the agent to refuse, omit, or safely summarize content when required.
  • Do not treat a user assertion of ownership or fictional context as conclusive authorization.
  • Apply the same safety-preserving language to the main thread and every spawned subagent.
  • Record skipped material in pipeline progress without forcing the agent to process it.

Technical Analysis

The complete, user-controlled chapter text is concatenated into an instruction-bearing prompt. The prompt does not clearly declare that instructions found inside the chapter are untrusted quoted data and must never be followed.

A malicious chapter can contain prompt-injection instructions that claim to supersede the extraction task, request tool use, alter the output format, or insert fabricated facts. Because later stages reuse subagent output, a successful injection can contaminate the chapter summary, aggregate analysis, character records, and style profile.

Output-format validation catches only a limited set of structural problems and does not establish that the subagent ignored embedded instructions.

Attack Path

  1. An attacker places agent-directed instructions inside a supplied chapter.
  2. The chapter is assigned to the 原文文本 variable.
  3. The text is concatenated directly after the operational subagent instructions.
  4. The chapter-extractor interprets the embedded text as instructions rather than inert source material.
  5. The subagent returns manipulated or fabricated output.
  6. The main pipeline writes that output to disk and reuses it during Stages 3 through 6.

Impact Assessment

Exploitation can alter analysis results, inject attacker-selected content into generated files, and redirect the behavior of spawned subagents within their available tool permissions. If a subagent has filesystem or other tool access, the practical impact could extend beyond output poisoning ...[truncated 140 chars]

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  • Pass source text through a structured data field rather than concatenating it into free-form instructions where supported.
  • Wrap source material in explicit, unique delimiters.
  • Add a higher-priority instruction that all content inside the source delimiters is inert data and that any instructions within it must be ignored.
  • Separate chapter metadata from chapter content.
  • Restrict chapter-extractor tool permissions to the minimum required; ideally, it should return analysis without filesystem, network, or shell access.
  • Validate output semantically as well as structurally before writing it or passing it to later stages.
  • Treat generated summaries as untrusted when they are reused in downstream prompts.

Vulnerability Details

File Location: references/style-profile-generator.md:71-84
Vulnerability Type: T09: Insecure Skill Coding Practices
Risk Level: Medium

bash
for PYBIN in python3 python py; do "$PYBIN" -c "" 2>/dev/null && break; done

with open('/tmp/style-sample.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    text = f.read()
sents = [s for s in re.split(r'[。!?]+', text) if s.strip()]

Technical Analysis

The workflow requires every run to use the fixed path /tmp/style-sample.txt and instructs the caller to append to it. Shared temporary directories are commonly writable by other local users and processes. A predictable filename introduces three risks:

  • Concurrent runs can mix data.
  • Data from an earlier run can remain and contaminate a later analysis.
  • A local attacker may pre-create the path as a symbolic link, causing the preceding append operation to write source text to another accessible target.

The Python read operation then trusts whatever object exists at that path. No ownership, file-type, permission, or symlink validation is specified, and no guaranteed cleanup is present.

Attack Path

  1. A local attacker predicts the documented path /tmp/style-sample.txt.
  2. The attacker creates the file with malicious content or creates a symbolic link to another path.
  3. The pipeline appends sampled novel text to the attacker-controlled path.
  4. The Python script opens and processes the resulting content.
  5. Depending on the prepared target, source text may be disclosed, another writable file may be modified, or style statistics may be manipulated.

Impact Assessment

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  • Create a unique private temporary directory for each run with mktemp -d.
  • Set restrictive permissions, such as mode 0700 for the directory and 0600 for the file.
  • Create the file atomically and reject symbolic links.
  • Truncate a newly created file instead of appending to a shared persistent path.
  • Pass the generated path to Python through an argument or environment variable rather than hardcoding it.
  • Install a shell cleanup trap so the temporary directory is removed on success, failure, or interruption.
  • Verify that the opened object is a regular file owned by the current user.

Technical Analysis

Book names come from the user, while character and faction names are extracted from untrusted source text. These values are interpolated into directory and file paths. The reviewed instructions do not require normalization, rejection of path separators, canonical-path resolution, or verification that the resulting destination remains under the intended output root.

A crafted value containing ../, an absolute path, or platform-specific separators could escape the intended directory if the implementing agent uses it literally. Extracted entity names create a second-order path traversal vector because malicious path components can originate inside the analyzed novel.

Attack Path

  1. An attacker supplies a malicious book title, character name, or faction name containing traversal syntax or path separators.
  2. The pipeline constructs an output path using the value.
  3. No sanitization or canonical containment check is performed.
  4. The agent creates or writes the corresponding directory or Markdown file.
  5. The resolved destination falls outside 拆文库/{book}/, potentially overwriting another file writable by the running ...[truncated 348 chars]

Remediation Suggestions

  • Convert all user-derived and extracted names to sanitized filesystem-safe slugs.
  • Reject /, \, null bytes, drive prefixes, absolute paths, . components, and .. components.
  • Maintain the original display name separately from the sanitized filename.
  • Resolve each candidate destination to a canonical absolute path before writing.
  • Verify that the canonical destination is a descendant of the canonical output root.
  • Apply collision handling for different names that sanitize to the same slug.
  • Use a generated stable identifier when an entity name cannot be represented safely.
  • Validate user-specified output paths separately and require explicit confirmation before writing outside the project root.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The manifest and description promise that artifacts are stored under 拆文库/{书名}/, but later instructions authorize writes to project-root 选题决策.md. This mismatch weakens user expectations and consent around file-system effects, which is a real integrity issue for agent skills because users rely on manifest scope to understand what can be changed.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger set includes broad natural-language phrases such as '帮我拆这本书' and '深度拆解', which can plausibly appear in normal conversation and cause unintentional activation. Because this skill performs file writes, backups, and multi-stage processing, accidental invocation increases the risk of unexpected persistence and resource use.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill automatically creates output directories, copies source files, and persists user-provided text locally, but does not require a clear upfront warning and consent specific to data retention. This is risky because users may supply copyrighted, private, or sensitive text for analysis without realizing it will be stored and duplicated on disk.

Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The instructions explicitly save user-pasted source text into 拆文库/{书名}/原文/原文.md, creating a durable retention path for all content entered in chat. This is dangerous because pasted material may contain copyrighted text, private drafts, or other sensitive content that the user intended only for transient analysis, not long-term storage.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill’s stated purpose is analyzing novels and writing outputs under 拆文库/{书名}/, but it also conditionally modifies a project-root file 选题决策.md. That creates an unexpected side effect outside the declared output boundary and can alter unrelated project state without a fresh, explicit approval step. In an agent setting, cross-file writes are dangerous because users may invoke analysis expecting isolated outputs, not mutation of planning documents.

Ssd 3

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The Stage 2 design mandates embedding full chapter text directly into child-agent prompts, which broadens disclosure of user content beyond the main skill execution context. Even if the sub-agent is local, this increases the attack surface and privacy risk by replicating entire source chapters across additional processing units and logs.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This markdown file presents all operational guidance in Chinese, and there is no indication that users can opt into another language or that the skill is intentionally restricted to a Chinese-speaking audience. Under the language/locale policy, forcing a specific language without user choice or justification is a natural-language policy violation.

95% confidence
Finding

The file title and instructions are written entirely in Chinese and describe this as the output template to use, which effectively constrains the skill's outputs to Chinese. The file does not offer any user language selection or explain a justified locale restriction, so it appears to impose a specific language by default.

Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The SOP instructs the agent to execute shell commands and dynamically select a Python interpreter to process workspace content. In an agent setting, this expands capability from passive text analysis to command execution over potentially user-controlled files and paths, increasing the risk of unsafe command use, environment abuse, or unintended access if filenames, working directories, or command parameters are influenced by adversarial content.
