中文去AI味 Pro

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Chinese writing-helper skill is mostly transparent, but it needs review because a style option can read unintended Markdown files from the user's machine.

Review this skill before installing if you will run it on private workspaces. Use only the documented style names, avoid passing style values from untrusted input, prefer stdout for sensitive text, and review generated prompts before sending them to another AI or publishing the result.

Do not use file existence as a substitute for authorization. 5. Add regression tests covering absolute paths, traversal sequences, nested traversal, symbolic links, and unsupported style names. ]]>

Findings (11)

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 85% confidence
Finding: In the markdown, the batch-processing section demonstrates looping over many input files and writing outputs into a target directory, but it does not include any user-facing caution about bulk modification risks or validation of generated content. For a skill that automates content transformation at scale, users should be warned that large batches may produce incorrect or undesirable rewrites and should be reviewed before publication or replacement workflows.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The title "中文去AI味 — 深度风格指南" explicitly frames the guidance as Chinese-only. Under the policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation unless the locale restriction is clearly documented and justified, which is not present here.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: This shell script presents its name, usage, status messages, and report content entirely in Chinese, which imposes a specific language on users without any opt-in or alternative locale handling. That matches the policy category for language or locale constraints in natural-language content.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: Natural-language strings and prompt construction explicitly require Chinese text handling, and the generated prompt states 你是一个中文文本润色专家, forcing a specific language/locale behavior. The file does not present this as an opt-in language choice or clearly justify the restriction as a region-specific tool.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The manifest describes a tool that converts AI-generated Chinese text into natural human writing, implying the skill itself performs the rewriting. In code, the main path merely assembles a prompt and outputs or saves it, explicitly telling the user to send that prompt to an AI for processing, so the advertised transformation is not actually implemented here.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The file’s instructions are entirely prescriptive in Chinese and define a response style template without offering any language choice or opt-in. Under the policy, forcing a specific language or locale is a natural-language policy violation unless the constraint is documented and justified as region-specific.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The file prescribes a fixed Chinese social-media style, including specific Chinese phrases and tone conventions, across the entire template. This is a natural-language locale/style constraint with no indication that the user can choose another language or opt in to this locale-specific output.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The file is a writing template entirely scoped to a Chinese Zhihu style, with no indication that language selection is optional or limited to a region-specific use case. This creates a natural-language policy risk because it implicitly enforces a specific language/locale rather than offering user choice.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 77% confidence
Finding: The description explicitly positions the skill as a Chinese-only transformation tool ("中文去AI味") and does not mention any user choice of language or locale. This can be a natural-language policy concern because it enforces a specific language context without opt-in language selection or a documented justification in the file.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 85% confidence
Finding: The surrounding documentation and naming present this as a '去味工具' (humanizer), but the decisive inline comment and output message reveal that the script only produces a prompt to be sent elsewhere. This contradicts the apparent operational intent conveyed by the tool's documented purpose and usage as a direct text-conversion utility.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Low

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: The script writes the full generated prompt, including user-supplied text, to any path provided by the user without warning, confirmation, or file-safety checks. In a skill context, this can cause inadvertent persistence of sensitive content to disk or overwrite existing files, which is a real confidentiality/integrity risk even though it is user-directed rather than attacker-driven.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
