Salon Skill

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This salon skill is a plain Markdown assistant guide with expected salon workflows and no executable or hidden behavior, though it should tighten privacy and activation guidance before real use.

Before installing for production use, narrow the trigger text to explicit salon tasks and add a privacy note covering what client data is collected, why, who can access it, and how long it is retained. Replace placeholder services, prices, currency, policies, staff names, and booking contact details with the salon's real local information.

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

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The trigger scope is excessively broad: it says to use the skill for anything related to a beauty salon, even loosely. That increases the chance the skill is invoked in ordinary conversations where it is unnecessary, causing misrouting, over-collection of user details, and unintended application of salon-specific workflows to unrelated contexts.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs collection of full name, contact number, allergies, and consultation details without any privacy notice, consent step, retention guidance, or minimization rule. In a salon context this creates real risk of unnecessary collection and mishandling of personal and potentially sensitive health-related information during routine interactions.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The consultation logic defines budget ranges only in Indian rupees, which imposes a specific locale assumption in the user interaction. The file does not indicate that the skill is intended only for an India-specific business context or provide any opt-in or alternative locale handling.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

The note states that currency is shown as ₹ (INR) and should be changed to the local currency, which imposes a locale-specific default in the content. Under the policy, forcing a specific locale without user opt-in can be a natural-language policy concern when no region-specific scope is documented for the skill.
