Read It. Reframe It. Own It. — Build a Knowledge Tree Around Your Goal

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a short learning-method prompt with no code, tools, credentials, persistence, or hidden authority.

This appears safe to install as a conceptual learning aid. Users should understand that it is English-language guidance for organizing knowledge, not an automation skill that performs actions or handles private data.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The manifest-like header specifies language: en, and the file does not indicate that language selection is optional or that the skill is limited to English for a documented regional or compliance reason. Under the policy, a fixed language setting can be a natural-language locale constraint when no user opt-in or justification is provided.
